I think the stripe element should be creating a payment method on submission, is that not the case?
somber field
Hi 👋 where in your payment process are you hoping to get that Payment Method ID, and which part of your system do you need to receive it (is this for your backend code)?
stoic wind
yes
I need to send it to the backend code for purchase completion.
So our logic of creating payment intent and calling confirmpayment is in backend. We want to send PM ID to the backend.
somber field
Gotcha, so you're building a server-side confirmation flow. With that flow you have to explicitly create the Payment Method from your frontend code via stripe.createPaymentMethod():
https://docs.stripe.com/js/payment_methods/create_payment_method_elements
The response to that will include the ID of the created Payment Method.
This guide helps walk through the structure of that flow:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/finalize-payments-on-the-server
We also have a newer version of that flow that is being built:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/finalize-payments-on-the-server-confirmation-tokens
And our teams are actively seeking feedback regarding that flow:

I am aware of this flow. I ant to understand that isn't stripe element creating the payment method by default if I don't explicitly create it?
somber field
No
Or if it is, I'm not sure how to get it. In the guide we show that you should use preventDefault to prevent the default form submission behavior as well, as that would lead to a page reload.
stoic wind
hmm I just wanted a confirmation that either payment method doesn't get generated or if it is we cannot access it's id in any way.
Only option is to create a payment method manually.
is that correct?
somber field
Yup, that's right
stoic wind
PM is not generated at all or it does but no way to fetch the PM id?
somber field
I'm not sure offhand, and either way it wouldn't work for your flow.
stoic wind
I would need a confirmation to get back to my team. Can you please confirm it from someone?
somber field
After you perform the default form submission in your test flow. Are you then able to find any new Payment Methods being listed?
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods/list
I really don't think it matters either way if you don't see it there, because no matter what's actually happening behind the scenes you don't have a Payment Method ID to work with. I'll try to test, but it'll take time.
stoic wind
ok
