Stripe error handling on PHP-Collection of common programming errors
I think there is more than these exceptions (Stripe_InvalidRequestError and Stripe_Error) to catch.
The code below is from Stripe’s web site. Probably, these additional exceptions, which you didn’t consider, occurs and your code fails sometimes.
try {
// Use Stripe's bindings...
} catch(Stripe_CardError $e) {
// Since it's a decline, Stripe_CardError will be caught
$body = $e->getJsonBody();
$err = $body['error'];
print('Status is:' . $e->getHttpStatus() . "\n");
print('Type is:' . $err['type'] . "\n");
print('Code is:' . $err['code'] . "\n");
// param is '' in this case
print('Param is:' . $err['param'] . "\n");
print('Message is:' . $err['message'] . "\n");
} catch (Stripe_InvalidRequestError $e) {
// Invalid parameters were supplied to Stripe's API
} catch (Stripe_AuthenticationError $e) {
// Authentication with Stripe's API failed
// (maybe you changed API keys recently)
} catch (Stripe_ApiConnectionError $e) {
// Network communication with Stripe failed
} catch (Stripe_Error $e) {
// Display a very generic error to the user, and maybe send
// yourself an email
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Something else happened, completely unrelated to Stripe
}
EDIT:
try {
$charge = Stripe_Charge::create(array(
"amount" => $clientPriceStripe, // amount in cents
"currency" => "usd",
"customer" => $customer->id,
"description" => $description));
$success = 1;
$paymentProcessor="Credit card (www.stripe.com)";
} catch(Stripe_CardError $e) {
$error1 = $e->getMessage();
} catch (Stripe_InvalidRequestError $e) {
// Invalid parameters were supplied to Stripe's API
$error2 = $e->getMessage();
} catch (Stripe_AuthenticationError $e) {
// Authentication with Stripe's API failed
$error3 = $e->getMessage();
} catch (Stripe_ApiConnectionError $e) {
// Network communication with Stripe failed
$error4 = $e->getMessage();
} catch (Stripe_Error $e) {
// Display a very generic error to the user, and maybe send
// yourself an email
$error5 = $e->getMessage();
} catch (Exception $e) {
// Something else happened, completely unrelated to Stripe
$error6 = $e->getMessage();
}
if ($success!=1)
{
$_SESSION['error1'] = $error1;
$_SESSION['error2'] = $error2;
$_SESSION['error3'] = $error3;
$_SESSION['error4'] = $error4;
$_SESSION['error5'] = $error5;
$_SESSION['error6'] = $error6;
header('Location: checkout.php');
exit();
}
Now, you will catch all possible exceptions and you can display error message as you wish. And also $error6 is for unrelated exceptions.
