Hi there!
What do you mean by "update credit card"? You have an existing payment method that you want to edit? What do you want to edit?
meager shoal
Yes, I want to change my cc .
The above flow is done by old api.
I just want to switch to setupIntent.
So my question is how can I change my cc card using setupIntent api ?
like in the snap i have maser card but now i want to use visa card so how can I do that with setupIntent ?
Do I have to integrate paymentElement first ?
woven pasture
SetupIntent is to create a new payment method, not to update an existing payment method.
But if you want to learn how to use the SetupIntent + Payment Element, then you shoulr read this guide: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=checkout

Stripe::Customer.update(@id, { default_source: source }) like this code is being used to update .
So for setupIntent do I need to use someother api or the same one ?
woven pasture
I still don't understand your question. Do you want to:
- Create a brand new Payment Method for a customer?
- Or update some information about an existing Payment Method?
meager shoal
Update some information about an existing Payment method.
woven pasture
What information do you want to update exactly?
meager shoal
credit card number.
woven pasture
That's not possible, so actually you want to create a brand new Payment Method for a customer.
meager shoal
Oh, ok
woven pasture
So you should read this guide for Checkout Session: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=checkout
Or this guide for SetupIntent: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=elements

Ok , Thankyou will have a look.
woven pasture
Happy to help 🙂

Just one more question
So we cant update credit card number, for that we have to create new payment method through setupIntent right ?
woven pasture
Correct
meager shoal
So if i create new payment method through setupIntent, will the Stripe::Charge.create api will work ?
I will change it with the PaymentIntent in the next step but just for time being can I use Stripe::Charge.create with setupIntent ?

So if i create new payment method through setupIntent, will the `Stripe::Charge....
nope! the SetupIntent creates a PaymentMethod, and PaymentMethods can not be used in the Charge API.
meager shoal
Yes, but it is already being used.
My next step is to move to paymentIntent .
I don't want to change to much code at one time.
meager shoal
nope! the SetupIntent creates a PaymentMethod, and PaymentMethods can not be use...
Got it, Thankyou.
Than how do you recommend I approach it.
Like I want to migrate to setupIntent and paymentIntent ?
Like I was thinking to change it to first setupIntent and than later move to paymentIntent .
But know I think I have to change both at the same time in all places right ?
cedar zenith
best option is to change to PaymentIntent first really
since a PaymentIntent can charge legacy objects like. Card card_xxxx or Source src_xxx so it just works
