I was trying to use Stripe checkout. I generated session and then it showed up on the dashboard. I then tried to run directocheckout on an html file with hardcoded id. But errorUncaught IntegrationError: stripe.redirectToCheckout: Invalid value for sessionId. You specified 'pi_1FrFbeBNGS...sCWFtQr'.
I tried to define an json object and use session.id but still doesn't work. What is wrong?
Here is my server.js
const express = require("express");
const app = express();
const { resolve } = require("path");
// Copy the .env.example in the root into a .env file in this folder
const env = require("dotenv").config({ path: "./.env" });
const stripe = require("stripe")(process.env.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY);
(async () => {
session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
payment_method_types: ['card'],
line_items: [{
name: 'T-shirt',
description: 'Comfortable cotton t-shirt',
images: ['https://example.com/t-shirt.png'],
amount: 500,
currency: 'usd',
quantity: 1,
}],
success_url: 'https://example.com/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
cancel_url: 'https://example.com/cancel',
});
console.log(session.id);
return session;
})().then(function(session){
console.log(session.id)
});
here is my index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="https://js.stripe.com/v3/"></script>

<script>
var stripe = Stripe('pk_test_XhC9cMRDNNqdkBVtHwzgYTQa00ov5gDmmN');
id = 'pi_1FrFEYBNGSiXwN3Wx3FBbawa';
stripe.redirectToCheckout({
// Make the id field from the Checkout Session creation API response
// available to this file, so you can provide it as parameter here
// instead of the {{CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}} placeholder.
sessionId: session.id
}).then(function (result) {
// If `redirectToCheckout` fails due to a browser or network
// error, display the localized error message to your customer
// using `result.error.message`.
if (result.error) {
var displayError = document.getElementById("error-message");
displayError.textContent = result.error.message;
}
});
</script>
</html>

It looks like you're passing your id and not the session.id (though I can't see where you would be getting the session from in your case here); you'll need to send/set/render that session.id produced in server.js to your html page.

"Your html file does not contain a Session ID - that's a Payment Intent ID. You need to include the correct ID to make this work" @floatingLomas
this helped me. The id on the dashboard is payment intent ID. I tried to print out the ID from the session object and put it in the directToPayment() and it worked!!!
