Charges - make sure to complete purchases via the checkout

[YDBleeker]

Can I enforce forwarding to a Mollie checkout for charges, similar to subscriptions? I tried newFirstPaymentChargeThroughCheckout for that. But now the amount from the config is being charged instead of the amount from the items.

$item = new \Laravel\Cashier\Charge\ChargeItemBuilder($user);
        $item->unitPrice(money($request->amount/121*100 ,'EUR'));
        $item->taxPercentage($user->tax_percentage);
        $item->description('Phone credits');
        $chargeItem = $item->make();

        $result = $user->newFirstPaymentChargeThroughCheckout()
            ->addItem($chargeItem)
            ->create();

        if(is_a($result, \Laravel\Cashier\Http\RedirectToCheckoutResponse::class)) {
            return $result;
        }

Hi @YDBleeker,

Thanks for following up here. What is the exact value (incl type) of $request->amount here?

Same question for $user->tax_percentage

[YDBleeker]

amount: 10 -> string tax_percentage: decimal

Hi @YDBleeker,

But now the amount from the config is being charged instead

What config value are you referring to in your initial description?

Can you also help me understand why you divide through 121 to create the Money instance (money($request->amount/121*100 ,'EUR'))? If the $request->amount() is '10', this results in 0.08 €. Not sure if this is what you were going for?!

Hi @Naoray,

Thank you for your time. I've revisited this again and realized I overlooked something. It turned out that the amount charged at checkout was exactly the same as for the first payment in the cashier configuration due to my mistake. I forgot to take into account decimal numbers, but everything is already resolved. Still, thank you.
