Hello
light acorn
Hi
gray tapir
Are you trying to charge immediately here?
Or attach the PaymentMethod and then charge later on when your customer is no longer in your flow?
light acorn
charge immediatley
well, we actually create 3 payment intents and charge them immediatley
gray tapir
Ah okay well in that case you should use a SetupIntent instead here to attach the PaymentMethod to the Customer. This allows you to handle 3DS if it is required
So basically instead of passing the PaymentMethod ID to the Customer on Customer creation, you create a SetupIntent (https://docs.stripe.com/api/setup_intents/create) and pass the Customer ID, the PaymentMethod ID, and confirm: true.
Then, if 3DS is required, the SetupIntent will move to requires_action
light acorn
Ok, so then if it does, we pass the secret back to the frontend and confirm it?
light acorn
Do we need to call confirmSetupIntent on frontend?
gray tapir
Yep
light acorn
If it requires action?
light acorn
And would we need to do anything with the setup intent to create the payment intents? Or we can just use the customer ID as we do now?
gray tapir
Nope you don't need to do anything different for the PaymentIntents. Once the SetupIntent is successfully confirmed it will attach the PaymentMethod to the Customer and you just pass the Customer ID and the PaymentMethod ID to the PaymentIntent(s) and confirm them.
You can test this all out in test mode with our 3DS cards: https://docs.stripe.com/testing#regulatory-cards

Great
Thanks for your help
p.s. Has your discord process change? Is this the right way to ask developer related questions now?
gray tapir
Happy to help
And yep, this is the correct way.
We added a form at the beginning to streamline questions and better help folks.
But you are in the right place.

Out of interest, do develpers take it in turns to answer these forum questions or are you dedicated to supporting people like us?
gray tapir
My team are all developers and we take turns staffing this channel to answer questions.
