Yeah the hosted invoice page doesn't support showing previously saved payment methods

#

Thank you for confirming my hunch. Could there be another reason we are seeing duplicate payment methods? Is this a common isue?

autumn marsh Apr 5, 2024, 2:05 PM

#

If you share the payment method id's I can confirm for you

#

Just would need to examine their creation requests

pi_3NlaljJ9EVKHmQsl0qa96Foj
The other method does not have a pi_ number. It does have a src however

#

pi isn't a payment method

#

pm_ are payment method

trail widget Apr 5, 2024, 2:07 PM

#

oh is pi a payment intent?

autumn marsh Apr 5, 2024, 2:08 PM

#

yeah

trail widget Apr 5, 2024, 2:14 PM

#

Thanks for your help.

autumn marsh Apr 5, 2024, 2:15 PM

#

I can still help if you provide the duplicate payment method id's

#

I can check how they were created

trail widget Apr 5, 2024, 2:21 PM

#

Let me see if I can find some more.

#

It looks like the customers with duplicate methods are actually payment intents.

#

I found another with multiple and all the ids start with pi-_

Hi there 👋

#

Jumping in as my teammate needed to step away. Payment Intents are a different type of object from Payment Methods.

#

If a customer pays an invoice via the hosted invoice, is that saved as a Payment Intent or a method?

grave brook Apr 5, 2024, 2:34 PM

#

Is what saved? A Payment Intent will be used to process the payment for the Invoice, that is standard behavior for Invoice objects.

trail widget Apr 5, 2024, 2:34 PM

#

The hosted invoice says it saves that payment for future use as well. Does that get a pi number or a pm number?

grave brook Apr 5, 2024, 2:35 PM

#

I'm guessing you're referring to it saving a Payment Method, but I'm not exactly sure. If so, that object's ID would have a pm_ prefix.

trail widget Apr 5, 2024, 2:37 PM

#

We have some customers racking up a lot of duplicate payment methods/intents. Is there a recommended way of dealing with that? One customer has 5 saved cards that are the same.

grave brook Apr 5, 2024, 2:38 PM

#

You can delete the extras when you detect duplicates.

#

You can listen for payment_method.attached Events, and use those to trigger a check looking for any existing Payment Methods with the same type and fingerprint. If you detect duplicate fingerprints, you can delete the duplicate Payment Methods with those.

trail widget Apr 5, 2024, 2:40 PM

#

Does that event get triggered if it is a payment intent? Or is that a different event?

grave brook Apr 5, 2024, 2:42 PM

#

It gets triggered when a Payment Method is attached to a Customer, which may or may not be part of an intent's lifecycle.
