Hello

What's your goal exactly here?

Like why do you want to do this?

[gloomy epoch]

I need to send a tokenized payment to shopify in order to complete a checkout https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/channels/checkout-api/complete-stripe

I used to do this with card element but now when using payment element I cannot use stripe.createToken anymore

or how can I create a token using this API https://stripe.com/docs/api/tokens/create_card when I'm using payment element?

You don't use Tokens with Payment Element and you don't really create PaymentMethods without completing a payment.

The only real way to do this would be to use a SetupIntent

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=elements

thanks, I already looked into setup intent but can't see how can I create a token from the setup intent object

Ah sorry, you can't. You would create a PaymentMethod. I assume with Shopify they can use a PaymentMethod just fine as well

But you would need to check with Shopify on that

Overall, this is a Shopify integration so you should really be talking to them about the proper way to do this.

shopify is not the only one who uses tokenized payment methods, how can I create a token from a payment method in stripe? an object like tok_xxx

You can't do this with Payment Element. Tokens are our legacy objects

You can only create them via Card Element

Payment Element works with PaymentMethods

[gloomy epoch]

so payment methods is the equivalent to what tokens used to be?

Yes
