Hi there

#

So sounds like Payment Sheet as opposed to Payment Element here since you are talking about an ephemeral key?

#

As in... this is a mobile integration?

brittle wagon Feb 24, 2023, 3:05 PM

#

ah yes, sorry. well we have both react native and react native web so we will be doing both i think

deft kindle Feb 24, 2023, 3:05 PM

#

Oh okay

#

Well Payment Element does not support handling saved PaymentMethods

#

So you don't have to do anything special there

#

With mobile, PaymentSheet does if you pass both a Customer and Ephemeral Key as you stated

#

So yes, if you omit the Ephemeral Key then the customer won't see saved payment methods in the PaymentSheet and can only add new ones

#

ok great, thanks for answering that question. it's news to me though that the payment element doesn't support saved payment methods. what is the best alternative? we need the user to be able to choose from saved payment methods when they are logged in

deft kindle Feb 24, 2023, 3:07 PM

#

Yeah this is a common ask and we do hope to support this in the future. For now you would need to build your own UI for saved payment methods on web

brittle wagon Feb 24, 2023, 3:08 PM

#

ah ok, we are already using CardElement so i will just need to migrate that flow for setup intents then

#

just confirming, the react native SDK definitely won't work for react native web, right?

deft kindle Feb 24, 2023, 3:09 PM

#

Right. You would use Stripe.JS with a Webview

#

The Stripe React Native SDK can only be used in a mobile app

#

got it. well one of the reasons we wanted to go to Payment Element was to support apple/google pay. i guess instead we will need to use a combination of Card Element and Wallet Button Element

deft kindle Feb 24, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

Hmm not sure I follow?

#

Card Element doesn't give you extra functionality from Payment Element

#

Like both require you building a UI for saved PaymentMethods

#

So would still recommend using Payment Element as it provides more support (like wallets)

brittle wagon Feb 24, 2023, 3:13 PM

#

we want users to be able to pay on demand, and save for later use, for both cards and apple/google pay, on both web and native

deft kindle Feb 24, 2023, 3:13 PM

#

Yeah so for web Payment Element is still best here

#

And then for mobile you should use PaymentSheet

#

That is the simplest integration with the most features

brittle wagon Feb 24, 2023, 3:14 PM

#

but you said payment element doesn't support saved payment methods? we would want them to be able to select to pay with an existing method

deft kindle Feb 24, 2023, 3:14 PM

#

Sorry I think I confused you.

#

Payment Element supports saving PaymentMethods

#

But not displaying saved PaymentMethods

brittle wagon Feb 24, 2023, 3:16 PM

#

hmm, ok. so for native we will just use Payment Sheel for everything.

on web, I guess in our UI we will ask if they want to use a saved payment method or add a new one. if saved payment method, we handle everything in our UI and create a payment intent on the backend with confirm=true. if new payment method, then use Payment Element

deft kindle Feb 24, 2023, 3:17 PM

#

You got it

brittle wagon Feb 24, 2023, 3:19 PM

#

ok great, thanks for explaining everything, it makes sense now. do you know if there is any timeline on supporting displaying saved payment methods in the Payment Element? if it's not far off we might just delay the integration because it would simplify things here substantially

deft kindle Feb 24, 2023, 3:22 PM

#

We are working on it but I can't give any specific time frame

brittle wagon Feb 24, 2023, 3:23 PM

#

yeah i understand. thanks for all your help!
