How can I help?

morning

#

okay, so we currently have a flow like this... https://p181.p1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/7KuWvbyv/80f751ee-3ee6-4dac-aa2e-8022aee6ee58.jpg?v=ebbc37ac75ffb5bdcc997baff3a362fd

#

billling and payment are both driven by your elements... (this is the editable state) https://p181.p1.n0.cdn.getcloudapp.com/items/5zuO7dyB/f849efac-0060-4e03-8e77-85ee78d4b5e4.jpg?v=2a4fe1eabc4fb907140c507fcab9b402

#

the issue im running into is a user goes to check out and changes their payment info (card number in this instance), then clicks purchase.

#

if the payment fails they obviously will try to edit their card info again.

#

but once they hit continue on the payment block it's doing a stripe.confirmSetup() so when they come back to edit a second time their setup intent has already been completed and cant be confirmed again.

#

But! since im using the react stripe elements thing the setupIntent key is not mutable so i cant just fetch a new one and rerender the component for some reason or another. so my question is what is the typical flow for this case?

That's correct, once the SetupIntent has been confirmed with the details, there's no way to update it with new PaymentMethod details.

#

We did introduce a new flow couple weeks ago where you can use Elements independent of Intents
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=setup

This allows you to render elements and create PaymentMethods without creating an Intent first

oooooooooooh

#

and that would let me theoretically create multiple setup intents for the case of failed payments huh?

#

i'll give that a shot. it sounds like exactly what i was hoping to be able to do

Yeah try it out, It should help avoid the situation you're running into
