Hello! That's correct, the prefix has to be similar to, or match, the full descriptor.

so does that mean we have to set both settings.card_payments.statement_descriptor_prefix and settings.payments.statement_descriptor to be the same, when creating the account?

even when we want the suffix of the statement descriptor to be dynamically set by the payment intent

[fresh scarab]

Yeah, they have to be the same or similar.

The purpose of the prefix is to identify the business, which is also the job of the full descriptor. If they don't match or aren't similar it raises red flags and makes it seem like you're doing something shady.

[reef crag]

ah ok, and by setting both of those fields to be the same, I can still add the suffix portion of the statement descriptor during the payment-intent

[fresh scarab]

Yeah.

i must have read the documentation wrong, because i was assuming i only set one or another depending on if i want it static or dynamic

but what you said made sense
