No, right now there isn't a way to update the elements provider with a client secret - can you give me some details/context on why you want to do this?

oh sure, so ive got a stepped form, i need to do some things after i get the clientsecret, if i key the provider it just resets the state, so not good
seems like this would be a pretty basic use-case
i mean just at it's most basic:
const intent = await setupPaymentIntent();
const res = await stripe.confirmCardPayment(intent.clientSecret, {
payment_method: me.customer.default_payment_method.id,
});
well ok i guess in this case i don't really need it
sigh
ill figure something out but a question:
lavish siren
Yeah backing up for a second here - if you aren't using the Payment Element there's really no reason for you to be setting the client secret when you initialize elements
gray sequoia
i mean the reason is that in some instances i AM using the element
if you already have a payment method attached though i dont need it so like i just need to branch here
but anyway my question is
do you get way more support questions with the client secret stuff now?
🙂
like having to revisit my integrations here i can't help but notice that it's much more complicated
lavish siren
We actually don't get as many questions on the client secret + payment element because there's other options for integrating with payment element that don't need you to specify the client secret up front (like this https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web)
