Hi there!

Adding your other screenshot here:

You should only mount the Element after you have received the client secret

[sudden cargo]

so basically, after I created a paymentIntent?

[wraith orchid]

Yes. Without a client secret (that comes form a PaymentIntent) you cannot mount the Element.

okay so it works, but when I try to add useStripe, and useElements, I'm getting that and it's just the circle of doom 😅 how should I initialise useElements properly?

because from my understanding i need useStripe & useElements to properly make a transaction

Can you try to follow what this guide is doing: https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-js/react

• One file with just the Element component, and without useStripe or useElements
• Another file with the PaymentElement, and with useStripe and useElements

[sudden cargo]

yeah ofc

okay, got it it was because useStripe & useElements needs to be used inside checkout component

thx for help

[wraith orchid]

Happy to help 🙂

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!

hey @tropic finch!
I have a question if it's possible to add email input to payment element as required to all payment methods, e.g. in card

[tropic finch]

that's not possible, you'd have to add it yourself
