Hello 👋
Sounds like you can use the PaymentIntents API directly in that case, no?

trail sphinx Dec 19, 2022, 9:30 PM

#

well, sometimes we want to create a token, not do a transaction, and follow up with an attach-to-customer.

#

then we don't really need the PI

#

in the old stripe.js, you could just tokenize a card, just taht

#

we need that same functionality, but with with Elements or Checkout

#

for example, can you create a SetupIntent WITHOUT a customer?

#

like here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web#web-create-intent can we leave out CUSTOMER_ID, and still get a SetupIntent?

fleet fable Dec 19, 2022, 9:33 PM

#

No that's not really possible unfortunately 😦

trail sphinx Dec 19, 2022, 9:34 PM

#

is there ANY way of using your secure UIs and just get a token out?

fleet fable Dec 19, 2022, 9:41 PM

#

Just to make sure I'm on the same page, when you say "token" you mean a payment method object (pm_xxx) correct?

trail sphinx Dec 19, 2022, 9:42 PM

#

correct

fleet fable Dec 19, 2022, 9:47 PM

#

Gotcha. You can use Stripe.js along with cardElement to tokenize the card and generate a PaymentMethod
https://stripe.com/docs/js/payment_methods/create_payment_method

#

There's also a beta feature in the works where you can do this with PaymentElement, but you'll need to write into our support for that

#

thanks, that helps

fleet fable Dec 19, 2022, 9:52 PM

#

NP! 🙂 Sorry for the delay

trail sphinx Dec 19, 2022, 9:57 PM

#

do you know how long before that beta feature goes live? typically

nimble epoch Dec 19, 2022, 9:59 PM

#

👋 Taking over for my teammate who needed to step away

#

that's hard to say, as there's no one typical timeframe for features moving from beta to general availability

trail sphinx Dec 19, 2022, 10:14 PM

#

can one use a beta feature in prodution?

nimble epoch Dec 19, 2022, 10:16 PM

#

yep, you can use a beta feature in Stripe live mode

trail sphinx Dec 19, 2022, 10:17 PM

#

cool - do we need to be "enabled" to use it?

nimble epoch Dec 19, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

Enabled to access this beta? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/defer-intent-creation
If so, yes! I recommend using the link at the top of the page to contact our support team about this beta directly

#

There shouldn't be a separate process to allow you to use beta features in live mode

trail sphinx Dec 19, 2022, 10:22 PM

#

Your colleague said: "There's also a beta feature in the works where you can do this with PaymentElement, but you'll need to write into our support for that"

#

so does that mean I have to request support to "add" the feature to our account?

nimble epoch Dec 19, 2022, 10:24 PM

#

Yep, that's right. I can't add you to the beta myself. There's a "contact us" link at the top of this page that you should use: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/defer-intent-creation
