Hello 👋
Not sure I fully understand, are you only trying to create a PaymentMethod using PaymentElement without using SetupIntents?

With card element, you are able to generate a token and let your backend handle creating a payment source with that token.

With payment element, it seems like you have to handle the saving of a payment only on the front end with setupIntent and then confirmPayment. Is there no way to handle the confirmPayment on the server side?

Ah I see. We recently launched deferred intent approach which let's you create payment methods with PaymentElement without creating an intent
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?type=setup

That's likely what you want

#

it looks like confirmSetup still takes the elements object you use in the front end, so this step has to be done on the client side?

Yeah that's correct. I don't think there's a way to completely do that server-side unfortunately..

#

Just to clarify: with the card element you can correct? You generate a card token with the elements and then you can send that token securely to the server side?

Yes, you can use createPaymentMethod function with card element
https://stripe.com/docs/js/payment_methods/create_payment_method

#

OR use createToken function
