hi 👋

This would be tough to implement since the first invoice will finalize immediately and you cannot add items after that.

#

But wait... I on'y see one button on that page. Does that mean the payment element would only be submitted when the Start My Membership button is clicked?

fervent stream Oct 12, 2023, 9:06 PM

#

yeah, exactly

#

the button submits the payment element, and then assuming no errors there, the form submits to my server

magic whale Oct 12, 2023, 9:08 PM

#

Okay, could you reverse that? Submit the subscription and return the latest_invoice.payment_intent.client_secret to use when confirming the payment?

fervent stream Oct 12, 2023, 9:10 PM

#

i could but wont that still cause Elements to re-render, and for the user to lose any input they've already given? Elements takes the client_secret as a prop.

magic whale Oct 12, 2023, 9:12 PM

#

Not if you are using our deferred intent flow

#

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred

fervent stream Oct 12, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

that'll work if the PaymentIntent is being automatically created by a Subscription instead, yeah?

magic whale Oct 12, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

In that flow you only need the clientSecret to have a value when you call stripe.confirmPayment()

fervent stream Oct 12, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

oh cool

magic whale Oct 12, 2023, 9:13 PM

#

If you go through that flow then you will need to submit the subscription information to your server and get back the client secret in the form Submit handler

fervent stream Oct 12, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

i think that does work for me then

magic whale Oct 12, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

and use it when calling the confirmPayment() function

fervent stream Oct 12, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

ok yeah, i think this is the info I needed. Thanks a ton!
