Hey 👋

Hi there! After confirmation, you can retrieve the SetupIntent to get the payment_method ID. If you need to retrieve details about the PaymentMethod (not just its ID), you can expand payment_method when retrieving the SetupIntent: https://docs.stripe.com/api/expanding_objects

Ah ok, so I basically just return the setup intent id to the client-side, and on success use it in a separate request to the my backend to retrieve and set the payment method?

[compact lark]

Can you clarify what you mean by "set the payment method"?

Attach it to a subscription

[torn garnet]

Yeah so on your server you retrieve the SetupIntent, check the PaymentMethod id in payment_method and then you can make it the default for the Subscription using default_payment_method on the Update Subscription API https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update
Does that make sense?

[peak dirge]

Yeah, perfect
