@royal tapir you can use https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-payment_method_options-card-setup_future_usage which lets you configure the ability to save the card only for card payments. If you pass the "top-level" parameter it applies to all payment methods you're passing in payment_method_types for example

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 12:40 AM

#

i'm trying to do a flow where i don't create the payment intent until after i've collected payment

#

sicne i have the option to add a subscription on my checkotu page and i need to rebuild the elements etc if that box is checked to have the mode be subscription

#

or can i do that server side even if it doesn't match the stripe element creation properties

tall mountain Mar 13, 2024, 12:42 AM

#

I don't entirely follow your ask. The error you get is because you explicitly pass setup_future_usage top-level and also force Affirm at the same time.

Can you give me a bit more context/details on your exact code and what is triggering that error and where?

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 12:43 AM

#

yes i do that in the options for the payment elements

#

but when i create the payment element i don't yet have a payment intent

#

i'm building the flow to create the payment intent after the card is collected

tall mountain Mar 13, 2024, 12:44 AM

#

Gotcha, it's impossible in PaymentElement to configure setup_future_usage just for cards unfortunately so there's no way to do this unless you create the intent first

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 12:44 AM

#

can i set that payment_method_options={'card':{'setup_future_usage':'off_session'}}, on the payment element as well?

#

oh no

#

ok

#

that design seems problematic

#

weill it work if i just add that option on the server side when i create the payment intent

#

or will it error because it doesn't match the element?

tall mountain Mar 13, 2024, 12:45 AM

#

I think it works. Easiest is to try end to end and see!

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 12:45 AM

#

yep about to try

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 12:56 AM

#

ok yes, excellent, thanks... that did seem to work so i can kinda get where i need to with that.... I asked the other day, but still haven't figured out a way to do one other thing. How can i create an invoice for an affirm payment via api?

#

if i create the invoice via api the pi is automatically created....and there doesn't appear to be away to add affirm as a payment method

#

any work arounds here? some people have been mentioning a beta involving payment elements and checkout, but i can't seem to get a straight answer whether or not there is some solution lurking in there

tall mountain Mar 13, 2024, 12:58 AM

#

https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-payment_settings-payment_method_types

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 12:58 AM

#

affirm isn't one of those types listed

tall mountain Mar 13, 2024, 12:59 AM

#

you can control this in the API or explicitly using https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/billing/invoice?tab=general to configure the default payment methods on Invoice or subscrption

#

okay then that's just not supported today in that case

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 12:59 AM

#

i've tried to just use the dashboard and not pass the types, but then affirm didn't load

tall mountain Mar 13, 2024, 12:59 AM

#

it'd be a feature request to our support team: https://support.stripe.com/contact

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 1:00 AM

#

i'll do that, but it doesn't really help me now... any other ways to accomplish that?

#

i'd like all my payments to be backed by an invoice with line items

tall mountain Mar 13, 2024, 1:01 AM

#

I have to run but @dim pollen is going to take over. But what you are trying to do is just impossible for now so you can't, at least not until we build it

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 1:01 AM

#

ok thanks, @dim pollen do you have any idea if there is a way around this in one of the current betas?

dim pollen Mar 13, 2024, 1:04 AM

#

Hello! Gimme a while to catch up

#

To clarify, do you want to use affirm for a one time payment only? And you want an invoice for that?

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 1:08 AM

#

yea that's the sorta sticky case i'm tryign to work through

#

but my checkout page will have the payment element that will list affirm/cards/wallets/link

#

i'd like an invoice for any of those options

dim pollen Mar 13, 2024, 1:11 AM

#

Like what koopajah mentioned right now, that's not possible with your current flow. If you use Checkout Sessions instead, it's possible to generate a post payment invoice, but you lose the ability to customize your UI

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 1:11 AM

#

yea, thats why i was wondering about the current checkout beta

#

i thought there may be a way to use sessions but still customize my ui with elements

#

but i haven't been able to find any documentation

dim pollen Mar 13, 2024, 1:14 AM

#

Unfortunately not 😅, there's no beta that I'm aware of. The post payment invoice feature is not a beta, it's already available

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 1:15 AM

#

i believe it is called "Elements with Custom Checkout"

dim pollen Mar 13, 2024, 1:27 AM

#

i don't really have a lot of info on Elements with Custom Checkout that I can share at the moment, if you want to find out more, I'll recommend reaching out to Stripe Support and the relevant team will get back to you about it

royal tapir Mar 13, 2024, 1:27 AM

#

heh, a week ahead of you there...but still going back and forth
