hi! geneally the recommended approach would be to prefill it on the frontend where you collect the paymnent details, for example https://docs.stripe.com/js/elements_object/create_payment_element#payment_element_create-options-defaultValues-billingDetails when using the PaymentElement, not on the backend.
main shoal
Does it allow me to prefill and not display the address?
late girder
no but if you want that there are ways
like set address collection to never https://docs.stripe.com/js/elements_object/create_payment_element#payment_element_create-options-fields and pass your address directly to https://docs.stripe.com/js/payment_intents/confirm_payment#confirm_payment_intent-options-confirmParams-payment_method_data-billing_details when processing the payment

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!
main shoal
Is there not a way to expand the payment intent through the JS API? I tried to do this a couple ways but neither worked.
proper sorrel
unfortunately that's not possible
you need to send a request to your API and get that information with the secret_key
main shoal
what is the expand on the confirmPayment used for?
proper sorrel
but that doesn't provide all information
main shoal
I was hoping to get the payment_method data
proper sorrel
even if you expand there are information that you won't have access via publishable_key
proper sorrel
I was hoping to get the payment_method data
in that case you can use confirmationTokens
main shoal
I created the payment intent on the server before the page loads. I guess I'm not sure what the purpose is of the token compared to creating a payment intent and confirming payment
proper sorrel
the confirmationToken holds the payment method data even before confirming the Payment
after that you can confirm the Payment directly using the confirmationToken
main shoal
I'd rather not confirm the payment at all. I will probably just have to do the lookup on the server using the return_url because I need to save the payment before it moves to the next page. Thanks for your help.
proper sorrel
exactly why you would need the confirmation token for
