You could setup future payments so that the payment method can be reused without re-adding the payment method details: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=ios&ui=payment-sheet

Does that get you oriented in the right direction?

I dont think so @lapis osprey

My use case is for users who already purchased food from my restaurant

if they already have bought something I want to set it up to where they can save their details so next time they coe they dont have to imput their card details

👋 stepping in for my teammate! If a PaymentMethod was created and used to create a charge before being attached to a customer object, it's not possible to re-use that PaymentMethod for future charges

The next time this customer returns to your restaurant and completes a purchase, you'll want to attach their payment details to a customer object first: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-during-payment

[dark elbow]

let me follow the documentation and see what I did wrong

i will be back in a few!\

[dark elbow]

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-during-payment

does this code work with a swiftui application, its in UIKIt / obj c?

[wet ledge]

I believe so, yes. You can click on the 'iOS' tab below the header, which will also update the client-side examples for Swift

[dark elbow]

Based off the article i can successfully make payments and store the customer as a customer object

but you can see theres no payment method attached so in the app its not able to remeber the payment method

[pallid canopy]

👋 taking over here. Are you sure you were following the Doc above? ie. setupFutureUsage when created the first PaymentIntent

[dark elbow]

  const items = req.body;
  const { total, fee } = calculateOrderAmount(items);
  // Create a PaymentIntent with the order amount and currency
  const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
    amount: total,
    currency: 'usd',
    application_fee_amount: fee,
    setup_future_usage: 'off_session',
    automatic_payment_methods: {
      enabled: true,
    },
  }, {
    stripeAccount: 'acct_1MsyJPCWAlRghLO7',
  });

  // Generate an ephemeral key for the customer
  const customer = await stripe.customers.create({
    email: '[e-mail]'
  }, {
    stripeAccount: 'acct_1MsyJPCWAlRghLO7',
  });
  const ephemeralKey = await stripe.ephemeralKeys.create(
    { customer: customer.id },
    { apiVersion: '2020-08-27', stripeAccount: 'acct_1MsyJPCWAlRghLO7' }
  );
  // Return the necessary information to the client
  res.send({
    customer: customer.id,
    ephemeralKey: ephemeralKey.secret,
    paymentIntent: paymentIntent.client_secret,
    publishableKey: 'pk_test_51MSCbfJMYkCh6QmLjYSQLK5gPtmLvaUMn0KrXsbFVnqVROCRere3kLrAQnKOT2Uepb5fRqv34vjgNAArl8wzPwWd00OoOZlDFj' // replace with your own publishable key
  });
});```

How does this code look

[pallid canopy]

That looks good to me. Do you have the example payment intent Id for your Dashboard customer above?

[pallid canopy]

This one

[dark elbow]

what would I do with it?

Would i have to write some logic to first check if the user is a stripe customer and then fetch the customer.id?

becuase thats my how my code is currently written^

[pallid canopy]

Yes, you would need some logic to fetch the saved customer id first. Your code above is simply creating new Customer and it's for the first time

[dark elbow]

Okay let me try

be back in a few

  const items = req.body;
  const { total, fee } = calculateOrderAmount(items);

  // Check if customer already exists
  const existingCustomer = await stripe.customers.list({ email: req.body.email });
  let customer;
  if (existingCustomer.data.length > 0) {
    // If customer exists, retrieve their ID
    customer = existingCustomer.data[0].id;
  } else {
    // If customer does not exist, create a new customer
    customer = (await stripe.customers.create({ email: req.body.email })).id;
  }

  // Generate an ephemeral key for the customer
  const ephemeralKey = await stripe.ephemeralKeys.create(
    { customer: customer },
    { apiVersion: '2020-08-27', stripeAccount: 'acct_1MsyJPCWAlRghLO7' }
  );

  // Create a PaymentIntent with the order amount and currency
  const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
    amount: total,
    currency: 'usd',
    application_fee_amount: fee,
    setup_future_usage: 'off_session',
    customer: customer,
    payment_method_types: ['card'],
  }, {
    stripeAccount: 'acct_1MsyJPCWAlRghLO7',
  });

  // Return the necessary information to the client
  res.send({
    customer: customer,
    ephemeralKey: ephemeralKey.secret,
    paymentIntent: paymentIntent.client_secret,
    publishableKey: 'pk_test_51MSCbfJMYkCh6QmLjYSQLK5gPtmLvaUMn0KrXsbFVnqVROCRere3kLrAQnKOT2Uepb5fRqv34vjgNAArl8wzPwWd00OoOZlDFj' // replace with your own publishable key
  });
});

how does this code look?

[pallid canopy]

Yeah looks better but please test them

[dark elbow]

Let me test will be back
