i've tried a few different things here. I ran out of characers in the intiial message. So i'll go over it again here for clarity.
I have a checkout page that sells a product, and has an add on for a subscription.
I reload the payment element if they check the subscription box, so i can change the mode to subscription
If i set the payment_method_types to : ["card" ] on the payment element and on the payment_settings.payment_method_types on the invoice created server side this all functions pretty close to how i would expect. I'm able to create the invoice which auto creates the payment intent and then return the payment intent token and then confirm client side.
however if i want to use affirm or other payment types, they aren't available in the invoice.payment_settings.payment_method_types or the subscription.payment_settings.payment_method_types. So the element will not match the intent automatically created server side by the invoice creation. Similar problems with setup_future_usage.
it does not appear that i can edit the payment intent payment methods after it has been created by the invoice either.
any ideas?

Yea there is a rough edge here with invoice payment methods
Are you using one-off invoices or subscription-related invoices?
cosmic verge
both
the checkout page i'm working on right now is selling a non subscirption product (that i'd like to create an invoice for)...but then also there is an add on for a subscription
but to not complicate it right away... even just the use case of no subscription is causing problems
b/c i can't figure out how to use affirm when i create the invoice/payment intent serverside
merry moon
So I think what you want to do here is set the payment element payment_method_types to the generated payment_method_types of the invoice
cosmic verge
since the payment intent is auto generated and the invoice.payment_settings.payment_method_types doesn't seem to support the payment types
how can i set affirm as one of the payment options when i create the invoice
the options for invoice.payment_settings.payment_method_options don't seem to match with the payment element options
merry moon
You can't, that's not supported: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/integration-options#support-buy-now-pay-later
None of the BNPL payment methods are compatible with subscriptions/invoices
cosmic verge
oh that stinks
is there any real way to get line item data into the charge or payment intent then?
only meta data?
merry moon
Can you explain how you'd expect this to behave, given that the subscription version of this would be recurring already?
Is your main goal here to have line items associated with payments?
cosmic verge
exactly
so when i export to qbo or wahatever
i can see the breakdown of the sale
and apply sales tax etc on a line item level
merry moon
I would suggest taking a look at the third beta there, "Elements with Custom Checkout"
This lets you build your own Elements-based payment UI with the Checkout Session powering things underthe hood, include line_items and tax etc
cosmic verge
ok thats interseting..would it incur additional fees b/c i'm using checkout now?
is there more documentation on that?/
merry moon
I can't really speak to fees, but i don't expect any additional ones
cosmic verge
k
merry moon
If you reach out to the beta email there, they can share some integration docs with you (they are not public)
cosmic verge
ok i'll try that
do you think there is a solution there that will work for my use case?
merry moon
I think so yes, but they can confirm and I think it will quickly become apparent to you whether its a good fit or not
cosmic verge
ok
