@simple reef Hello! We typically close threads that haven't been responded to in a while

I can help if you give me a quick summary of your current issue

[simple reef]

Ah, k. About how long so I know going forward?

[late burrow]

It really depends - if the questions seem resolved we'll usually close it out faster

[simple reef]

Yes, please read the past thread I pointed to. I can now see the options in the web UI -- not sure how I missed that before. It appears that I cannot change anything in test mode, so I'm happy to wait until I fully activate the account. That's fine. However, separately from that I should have said that I'm using a SetupIntent. I followed the docs here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/setup_intents/create?lang=ruby.

and my actual code is as follows:

intent = Stripe::SetupIntent.create({
customer: user.stripe_id,
automatic_payment_methods: {enabled: true},
payment_method_types: ['card']
})

however, that doesn't change the UI element. So now I'm just curious if that's also "not working" because I'm still in test mode (pre-activated), and I can expect that to change later?

[late burrow]

You need to remove the line automatic_payment_methods: {enabled: true}, if you're passing in payment_method_types

[simple reef]

okay, should take 1 minute

Unfortunately that didn't appear to work. I can continue looking at it, but would you mind confirming that I can or cannot change the payment method types with a pre-activated account?

Just to avoid spinning my gears on it

[late burrow]

Well backing up here for a second - if you're manually setting the payment method types when you create the SetupIntent then you shouldn't be touching the dashboard settings at all

You'd only want to change the payment methods through the dashboard if you're using automatic_payment_methods

[simple reef]

Which I was originally

although I hadn't actually discovered the dashboard yet

until it was linked in the prior thread

I have undone that per your suggestion, and strictly using the method types parameters as shown

intent = Stripe::SetupIntent.create({
customer: user.stripe_id,
# automatic_payment_methods: {enabled: true},
payment_method_types: ['card']
})

did hard reset on front and backend as well

so I'm not sure if the behavior is consistent with the dashboard at this point

particularly if I can or cannot change this pre-activated

I'm happy to kick this down the road until after I activate, since it may just be easier to use the dashboard

[late burrow]

what do you see in your UI with that code?

[simple reef]

I still see the cash app section there

tbh, it seemed odd that the config for it is on the backend

just now I shut down my backend completely, refreshed the front end, and the elements still render

seems like there's a disconnect about how this works

[late burrow]

How are you initializing the PaymentElement?

[simple reef]

return (
<form onSubmit={foo}>
<AddressElement options={addressOptions} />
<PaymentElement />
<button type="submit" disabled={!stripe || loading}>
Submit
</button>
{errorMessage && <div>{errorMessage}</div>}
</form>
);

almost entirely from the docs -- I can share the foo handler if needed

then there's the outer form:

const AddCardInfo = (): JSX.Element => {

const options = {
mode: 'setup',
currency: 'usd',
setupFutureUsage: 'off_session'
} as StripeElementsOptions

return (
<Elements stripe={stripePromise} options={options}>
<CheckoutForm />
</Elements>
)
}

[late burrow]

Which docs specifically are you following?

Aha that's the issue

[simple reef]

I'll have to retrace my steps for the docs, give me a minute there

[late burrow]

You're doing the flow where you don't need the intent when you render the Payment Element

[simple reef]

Yeah, I learned my flow is rather offbeat

my product is pay as you go

we take the card with no known payments or ongoing subscription cost

it's just based on X usage at end of month

this was the key doc I used: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?type=setup

[late burrow]

👍 that's what I thought

so for your particular case you'll want to pay close attention to this section https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?type=setup#additional-options

Specifically, the paymentMethodTypes parameter that you can set in options

You can either specify that to only pass in card

If you don't provide that param at all, then it's controlled through the dashboard

[simple reef]

Okay, I must have looked at that 10 times

I think the problem is that I didn't realize what it was called at the time

I'm nearly certain this will do what I expect

I'll have to try it in a bit, but I appreciate all your help. I believe I'm on the right path now.

[late burrow]

👍

[simple reef]

you know what

I just tried it and it works

[late burrow]

(and for what it's worth you should definitely be able to change your settings with an un-activated account) It may be that you accidentally have the "test mode" setting toggled off

[simple reef]

thanks again for your help

[late burrow]

awesome! glad to know it works!

[simple reef]

that's what I see there

I'll leave that for another day

[late burrow]

Hmm... that's a bit weird

Yeah if you want me to dig in more just let me know

[simple reef]

All good, thanks again. I should be able to switch to live mode once I activate.
