@foggy snow Hello! I don't really follow what you are asking unfortunately so I'm going to need more specific details. PaymentElement runs client-side in a browser and would never ask for (or need) your Secret API key

[foggy snow]

Sorry I mean the secret created from a call to get the payment intent. We want to be able to save a payment method with this new element rather than process a payment. Screenshot from quickstart guide (https://docs.stripe.com/payments/quickstart?client=react)

Sorry that's a picture. Let;s ignore the code for a sec I still don't understand what your ask means

Are you trying to accept a payment and save card details for future payments. Or only save card details and not accept any payment for now?

[foggy snow]

only save the card for now

[lone ridge]

Gotcha so you should follow this end to end guide then: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse

[foggy snow]

yes, we have that functionality in place. It just seems like this PaymentElement (unlike the older CardElement) is only for payment intents? Or is that not the case?

With the card element we are currently using it to generate a token and then send to our stripe save payment functionality

[lone ridge]

That's not correct/the case no. PaymentElement works well with PaymentIntent and SetupIntent. The doc I shared is about SetupIntents.
SetupIntentsa re the right way to save card details. The old approach of Token -> Attach to a Customer has been deprecated for over 5 years now. That doesn't handle 3D Secure for example, that's susceptible to card testing, etc.

So really all you need to do is follow the doc I shared above end to end

thank you
