You should include ideal in the payment_method_types when creating a checkout session

That's what I expected but when doing so I get this

{
  "error": {
    "message": "`payment_intent_data.setup_future_usage` is unsupported for payment method `ideal`.",
    "request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_kF2308Rlk18hZ5?t=1711440514",
    "type": "invalid_request_error"
  }
}

Full request

POST https://api.stripe.com/v1/checkout/sessions
Authorization: Bearer {{api-key}}
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

mode = payment &
customer_creation = always &
payment_intent_data[setup_future_usage] = off_session &
currency = eur &
success_url = http://localhost:5146/webhook &
line_items[0][price_data][currency] = eur &
line_items[0][price_data][product_data][name] = Unit A1000 &
line_items[0][price_data][unit_amount] = 2000 &
line_items[0][quantity] = 1 &
payment_method_types[0] = card &
payment_method_types[1] = ideal

Ok, you should remove setup_future_usage from request param. Once the checkout session completes, you can get the sepa payment method ID from the checkout session's payment_intent->latest_charge object-> payment_method_details https://docs.stripe.com/payments/ideal/save-during-payment

That would mean in order to enable recurring payments we would have to use Stripe Elements and can't use the hosted checkout page?

[lone rune]

No you can still use checkout

You can follow the same instructions to get the sepa payment method from a payment mode checkout session.

[wicked prism]

That would mean I would need to know the payment method type beforehand?
Ideally we would simply use the following

POST https://api.stripe.com/v1/checkout/sessions
Authorization: Bearer {{api-key}}
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

mode = payment &
customer_creation = always &
payment_intent_data[setup_future_usage] = off_session &
currency = eur &
success_url = http://localhost:5146/thank-you-page &
line_items[0][price_data][currency] = eur &
line_items[0][price_data][product_data][name] = Unit A1000 &
line_items[0][price_data][unit_amount] = 2000 &
line_items[0][quantity] = 1

And not specify the methods since these are handled by our clients.

Otherwise it would be easier to use

POST https://api.stripe.com/v1/payment_intents
Authorization: Bearer {{api-key}}
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded

amount = 12500 &
currency = eur &
customer = {{customerId}} &
automatic_payment_methods[enabled] = true &
setup_future_usage = off_session

But can I use the client secret to pass it to a hosted checkout page?

[lone rune]

Or you should remove payment_intent_data[setup_future_usage], and set setup_future_usage on the payment method level through payment_method_options

For example, setting https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_method_options-card-setup_future_usage tells Stripe to set setup_future_usage when your customer selected card payment.

In this way, you won't get an error even if you include ideal in the payment_method_types
