Hello

Hi
brisk stirrup
You want the two step confirmation flow: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/build-a-two-step-confirmation
So you would update the amount you show that is going to be charged based upon the PaymentMethod. That said, if you aren't concerned about debit vs. credit you could also just use the onChange Event: https://docs.stripe.com/js/element/events/on_change?type=paymentElement

We wouldn't update for debit/credit but would need to re-calculate for something like EFT/ACH - I presume the two step is the best approach for that?
brisk stirrup
Ah okay then the onChange Event should work fine and is much simpler
You can just check the value returned which is the type of payment method that is currently selected
Then update your UI based on that

How do I update the value being charged on the payment intent?
brisk stirrup
Ah yes, sorry. You do want to use the two step flow to be able to update server-side here once they actually confirm.
Otherwise you are going to be calling your server repeatedly to make the update every time they change their payment method selection
(You would update amount via: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/update#update_payment_intent-amount )

super thanks - I'll give that a go
