Execute the approved action

// Stripe PaymentIntent, using the same amount/currency Attesso authorized.
const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create(
  {
    amount: 42000,            // minor units, matches proposed_action.payment
    currency: 'eur',
    payment_method: 'pm_...', // the payment method you are charging
    confirm: true,
    // Server-side execution, no browser to return to: no redirect-based methods.
    automatic_payment_methods: { enabled: true, allow_redirects: 'never' },
    metadata: {
      external_action_reference: 'booking-2026-08-04-001',
      attesso_authorization_id: 'aut_01J2...',
    },
  },
  { idempotencyKey: 'booking-2026-08-04-001' }, // request option, = your external_action_reference
);
// paymentIntent.id is your provider_transaction_reference

​

Report the outcome to Attesso

• status: 'succeeded': definite acceptance; commit with provider_transaction_reference: paymentIntent.id.
• A decline (card_declined): definite non-acceptance; cancel with reason: EXECUTOR_REJECTED.
• requires_action (for example, the customer still has to complete 3D Secure): not final; do not commit or cancel yet.
• A timeout or lost response: reconcile before deciding (below).

​

Reconcile a lost response

• Replay the identical request with the same idempotency key; Stripe returns the original result for at least 24 hours.
• Retrieve the PaymentIntent by ID if you recorded it.
• Search by the metadata you attached: metadata['external_action_reference']. Allow up to a minute for search to propagate before treating an empty result as no record.
