Hello 👋
Is there a guide you're following for this?

#

OR are you just attempting based on the SDK ref?

potent sky Jan 19, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

I'vent found a guide yet really, the only thing that gave me a clue was this
https://stripe.com/docs/js/tokens_sources/create_token

Stripe JS Reference

#

I need to capture the card number from a credit card element

#

But I'vent found the right flow reading the docs

#

Gotcha. What's your end goal here?
Are you collecting card information to charge it OR just allow customers to update their payment methods?

#

second one "just allow customers to update their payment methods"

rugged moss Jan 19, 2023, 9:20 PM

#

I see. Can you provide more information on how you're collecting the payment methods in the first place?
I ask because the flow you're currently using creates a token which is separate from creating a PaymentMethod object

#

The payment method was collected initially by a setup intent

rugged moss Jan 19, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

I see. I don't think our API support updating the number for an existing PaymentMethod. So you'd likely need to create a new PaymentMethod using the SetupIntent API and detach the previous/existing PaymentMethod

#

I was thinking on this solution, however I'm not sure how this works. I read that if you detach the previous payment method you can't again attach it. What that means? that the user can't re-use a previous entered credit card?

rugged moss Jan 19, 2023, 9:26 PM

#

They can use the credit card but you'd need to create a new PaymentMethod object for it. You can't re-use the same pm_xxxx object

potent sky Jan 19, 2023, 9:27 PM

#

Thxs for the clarification, I was thinking that it put in a black list previous detached credit cards

rugged moss Jan 19, 2023, 9:28 PM

#

Nope! 🙂 the card can still be used as long as you create a new PaymentMethod object for it

potent sky Jan 19, 2023, 9:38 PM

#

Another question, for this I will need to create another setup intent instead of using the existing setup intent used for storing the payment method by first time?

rugged moss Jan 19, 2023, 9:39 PM

#

Yes, you would need to create a new SetupIntent. They are single-use.

Thxs, I got the flow working, you were very helpful 🙂

rugged moss Jan 19, 2023, 9:42 PM

#

Awesome! Glad I could help 🙂
