Hello 👋
Do you mean after the user submits the form or before?
subtle pond
after they submit the form, so I can give this information to my back-end
unreal moth
Gotcha. In that case, you should be able to retrieve the PaymentIntent client-side and look at the payment method parameter (you may need to expand it)

Actually I should mention i'm using the beta version where the payment intent is deferred. Is it possible to find the selected payment method before form submission?
unreal moth
Ah our team doesn't know a ton about the beta. However, you can listen to events on the payment element and look at the value property whenever you get the event
https://stripe.com/docs/js/element/events/on_change?type=paymentElement
it should reflect the payment method selected on the PaymentElement
subtle pond
How does that work with the react payment element using useElements() ?
oh wait I guess it would just be a prop on the component
unreal moth
yup I believe so like onChange or something..
