Hi there! Do you have a PaymentIntent ID you can share?

[delicate sentinel]

hm, let me find one

give me a few minutes

how do I translate this created to date time?

just want to find you the most recent payment intent

[spring river]

You can use something like https://www.epochconverter.com/

but no need, you can copy/paste the ID from the start of that client secret, the one that begins with pi_

[delicate sentinel]

thanks, let me see

pi_3P3nvKLE5rsCgveV0WOckKto

does such id work for you?

the thing is that the checkout form is shown first and I don't see the bank transfer option. Then I selected payment with card. Payed and then payment intent has been created

in case you need client secret here it is for this pi

Ah, I think the only way I can get Bank Transfers to show up in the PaymentElement if I use the deferred intent flow is to explicitly pass paymentMethodTypes: ['customer_balance',...] in the options to initialize Elements

[delicate sentinel]

interesting, let me test this quickly

true, it worked, thank you. Although, in such situation I won't be able to use dynamic payment methods set up from dashboard. Right?

or there is a possibility to load these mehods somehow?

on front-end

ok, I need to go but if you have time for answering these two questions I'd appreciate your help.

1. I can see that currency is required field in Elements options. Although, how do I know which currency the customer will use if I serve customers from all over the world?

2. Is there a way to dynamically show the amount of money with deducted stripe fee to customer. Let's say he selects card payment with 2.9% stripe fee and he entered $100 in the input. Can I show him $97.1 somehow? How do I know which payment method he selected before the customer submits the checkout form?

[spring river]

Sorry for the delay!

[delicate sentinel]

no worries

could you answer thes equestions as well or I should create a separate topics for them?

[spring river]

Okay, so currently there's no way to use dynamic payment methods with Bank Transfers. You'll need to explicitly pass paymentMethodTypes with customer_balance to present Bank Transfers in the PaymentElement.

I recommend adding some sort of currency or country selection prior to having the customer land in your payment page (can be part of their account registration or something), or you choose for them. It really depends on where you want any foreign exchange to happen

[delicate sentinel]

so the actual currency that customer uses can differ?

from the specified one

[spring river]

Well, let's say you present a price in 'usd' but the customer's card is based in MX. The customer's bank may charge them a foreign exchange fee to pay in 'usd'

Separately, you mentioned you're working with Connect so I recommend looking through this as well so you're acquainted with the difference between presentment and settlement currencies as well: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/currencies

[delicate sentinel]

yeah, I am using connect but I do manual transfers undert the hood to my connected accounts. so, the payment element is used for gathering money to platform account only

Not sure I quite follow.

[delicate sentinel]

I am developing a marketplace where customers deposit money to my marketplace balance first and then buy services within the platform. So, there is a need to show the customers beforehand how much money they will receive in the platform balance with this or that payment method used.

[spring river]

For a $100 charge, the customer will always pay $100. The amount settled to your platform will be minus the fees

[delicate sentinel]

I want to make interactive UI where let's say the customer selects card and I show him $97.1, he selects bank transfer and I show him $92

so, he can choose the preferable payment method. So, the question here is how do I get the payment method selection on the UI from payment element

Am I clear or not really?

[spring river]

Yeah, I think I understand. I think you likely want to present them with a selection/menu of payment method types before rendering the PaymentElement. Then, based on what they choose, use those values to determine the options you use when creating the Elements instance, including the amount.

[delicate sentinel]

yep, that's a possible workaround. Thank you for your answers. Highly appreciate your help!
