Laravel Cashier: Resume a single payment

Question

after a successful payment I store the stripe id on a mysql table. With that id I would like to retrieve all the details stored in the stripe database.

So is it possible to resume a single payment by the stripe id?

Thanks

Here is the documentation you need to use: https://stripe.com/docs/api/php#retrieve_customer

Use the "customer retrieve" Stripe API call to retrieve details about the customer's purchase:

 Stripe::setApiKey(Config::get('your_stripe_secret_key_here'));
 $customer_object = Customer::retrieve(customers_stripe_id);

This will return the following JSON:

Stripe\Customer JSON: {
  "id": "cus_7KJZQ8Z6jfSSMl",
  "object": "customer",
  "account_balance": 0,
  "created": 1447172728,
  "currency": "usd",
  "default_source": "card_175evz2eZvKYlo2CKoS2WEDk",
  "delinquent": false,

  "discount": null,
  "email": null,

        "object": "card",
        "address_city": null,
        "address_country": null,
        "address_line1": null,
        "address_line1_check": null,
        "address_line2": null,
        "address_state": null,
        "address_zip": null,
        "address_zip_check": null,
        "brand": "Visa",
        "country": "US",
        "customer": "cus_7KJZQ8Z6jfSSMl",
        "cvc_check": "pass",
        "dynamic_last4": null,
        "exp_month": 5,
        "exp_year": 2016,
        "funding": "credit",
        "last4": "4242",
        "metadata": {
        },
        "name": null,
        "tokenization_method": null
      }
    ],
    "has_more": false,
    "total_count": 1,
    "url": "/v1/customers/cus_7KJZQ8Z6jfSSMl/sources"
  },
  "subscriptions": {
    "object": "list",
    "data": [

    ],
    "has_more": false,
    "total_count": 0,
    "url": "/v1/customers/cus_7KJZQ8Z6jfSSMl/subscriptions"
  }
}

Here is Stripe's version of the API call:

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey("your_secret_key");
\Stripe\Customer::retrieve("the_customers_id");

Make sure to import the \Stripe classes by adding this at the top of your Model or Controller:

use Stripe\Customer;
use Stripe\Stripe;

if you want to use "Stripe" instead of \Stripe\Stripe and \Stripe\Customer prefixes)
