#notlit-Setup Intent
unique juniper
👋 happy to help
when you create a SetupIntent you can't use the confirm:true param unless you pass a payment method id which is usually a discouraged approach
instead, remove the confirm: true from your backend code
once the SetupIntent is created, send the client_secret to the front-end
use it with Elements
and confirm the Setup Intent using stripe.confirmSetup
you can read more about this here https://stripe.com/docs/payments/setup-intents

Hi! I'm taking over this thread.
Can you share the request ID of the error you get?
Is it this one req_DDIFnpEGgrzCbK ?
winged whale
Thanks! The error message is pretty clear: "You cannot confirm this SetupIntent because it's missing a payment method."
How do you collect the payment method?

How do you collect the payment method?
im not currently launched, but im just trying to test the things with python so for now im collecting the payment methods through requests as data

In theory it works like this:
- Create the SetupIntent in the backend
- use the
client_secretof the SetupIntent on the frontent to collect payment with the PaymentElement
This is explained here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web
But if you are just doing some tests, you can create the SetupIntent with a PaymentMethod directly, something like this: payment_method: "pm_card_visa".

throws me this error when i try to put the payment method as "pm_card_visa"
tripe.error.InvalidRequestError: Request req_xEob97H9Lnyl2Y: You cannot use the test ID 'pm_card_visa' in livemode. If you are testing your integration, please use your testmode API keys instead.

not yet,
tripe.error.InvalidRequestError: Request req_xEob97H9Lnyl2Y: You cannot use the test ID 'pm_card_visa' in livemode. If you are testing your integration, please use your testmode API keys instead. throws this error

Right, since you are doing tests, you need to use your test API key, not your live API key.
You can find it in your dashboard here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys
It looks like sk_test_xxx.
tepid eagle
ah ok alright thanks for your help
winged whale
