Hey @alpine rivet can you provide a bit more details around your ask?

[alpine rivet]

Yeah so I'm building an application around subscriptions and using the payment and address elements to capture payment details.

I was trying to send the data to the backend to do the whole confirmation of the payment intent on the backend instead of on the front end when I try to do something like

$("#payment-form").serialize()

and use an ajax call to pass whatever that serialization may be I get an empty string.

whereas my html is something simple like

    <form id="payment-form">{% csrf_token %}
      <div id="link-auth-element" style="min-width: 65vh"></div>
      <div id="address-element" style="min-width: 65vh"></div>
      <div id="payment-element" style="min-width: 65vh"></div>
    </form>

I don't fully grasp what you are trying to do I'm sorry

like if you use PaymentElement, you can't really do anything on the back end, you confirm client-side, that's the canonical flow

I don't get what you are trying to "serialize" either. Your code has no access to the content of those iframes

[alpine rivet]

yeah okay figured would have to go down that route

thanks
