Hi 👋

Unfortunately I cannot offer any advice on firestore. Just the Stripe APIs themselves.

ok let me rephrase, what is the purpose of setup_secret when creating a new customer. i.e. why should I save this data (if i need to at all)

[livid stag]

What doc are you referring to?

[sullen mulch]

I'm not sure about exact documentation but here is an example snippet i have looked up of a stripe customer creation. I am curious as to what purpsoe using a setupIntent does

https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples/blob/main/Node-1st-gen/stripe/functions/index.js#L36C1-L45C4

Unfortunately I cannot offer advice on this code

But the secret being saved is the Setup Intent client secret

[sullen mulch]

ok and why does that need to be saved?

if at all?

IDK in this case but we use them to instantiate the Payment Element when saving payment methods following this doc: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse
