Hello 👋
When you say used, in what sense exactly?

fluid tulip May 17, 2023, 1:12 PM

#

Hello

#

I don't have the exact error but if I go through checkout, attach the payment method to a payment intent, complete payment intent I'm pretty sure the payment method becomes invalid

#

can not be used again

slim field May 17, 2023, 1:16 PM

#

Ah I see. The payment method needs to be attached to a customer to make it re-usable.

#

I don't think we have a parameter that can reflect it though unfortunately. So if you're planning to re-use the PaymentMethod then you should immediately attach it to the customer (as soon as it has been created)

#

I'm not trying to reuse it

#

I'm trying to do error handling

#

So I have no way to check if a payment method is valid?

#

Unless you create a test transaction with it, I don't believe so

fluid tulip May 17, 2023, 1:19 PM

#

seems like a flaw

#

how do I do a test transaction?

slim field May 17, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

Are you trying to validate livemode PaymentMethods?

fluid tulip May 17, 2023, 1:20 PM

#

I'm not sure what livemode is

#

I have a paymentmethod. I want to confirm it is valid before attempting to use it

slim field May 17, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

Is it a real card from a real customer?

fluid tulip May 17, 2023, 1:21 PM

#

no..this is all test

#

for now

#

obviously I want this to work with live mode

slim field May 17, 2023, 1:24 PM

#

You should be able to create a PaymentIntent using your Test mode API key and when you attempt to use the PaymentMethod, it should error out if its not valid.

In livemode, there's no way to know until you use the PaymentMethod in a real transaction.

fluid tulip May 17, 2023, 1:25 PM

#

yeah..I'm getting the error

#

I don't want errors for my customers

#

do you guy have a ticket system or something? Seems like this should be a required functionality.
