showcustomer.php?cus=cus_EirxWeBc14NKy6
We will pass this to the API and retrieve a specific customer object
Section titled “We will pass this to the API and retrieve a specific customer object”We will pass this to the API and retrieve a specific customer object
Again a simple API call will do the work
The customer id is passed as a GET variable as $_GET.cus
The API settings are pretty much identical to before, requiring a authorization in the header
Section titled “The API settings are pretty much identical to before, requiring a authorization in the header”
On this occasion we post to a slightly different url as the customer if must be passed in the url
Section titled “On this occasion we post to a slightly different url as the customer if must be passed in the url”The url we will use is :https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/{{$_GET.cus}} as the id must be passed in the url. See below curl example.
Step 5
Section titled “Step 5”**NOTE: you may have an issue generating the schema for the API as $_GET.cus is undefined and an error will occur. To generate a schema paste a url with a valid customer id in it as shown in the above curl example into the Url field
.
It should then be possible to generate the schema**
Section titled “It should then be possible to generate the schema**”We can then use this server action to retrieve a specific customer object
showcustomer.php is a simple page to display the id, name and email address returned by the API call via a server connection

Section titled “Step 7”The page simply makes the call and the customer object is returned to app connect where the sdata objects are available in the picker.

The user could login via the database table email and password and then the customer id returned form a data query.
This could them be passed as the parameter to the showcustomer.php type page
