Hello
Not sure I follow.. Are you trying to list existing payment method users have attached?

#

No moreso wondering how to take a given payment method object (no specific type) and convert it into a user recognizable string/display

pallid anvil
#

What's the usecase though?

#

Displaying a user's payment method to them

#

So they can see which payment method we charged or will charge in the future

#

I see. I think that's what I asked earlier 😅

Anyway, I've seen people handle it different ways.. Most common way is to show them the last 4 digits with the card network (visa, mastercard, etc)

#

Ah, yeah... misunderstood your first description

#

Cards are def the most common and I think prob easiest, but there's 70 other potential types...

#

We don't support all, but many

#

Anything you've seen that's a sort of catch-all?

#

We would prob manually handle card/bank account but others would need to be programmatic

#

Prob split by _ and uppercase first letter followed by "payment method" for everything other than card/bank

pallid anvil
#

Hmm, don't think i've seen a catch-all solution, no..

An easier option would be to use Customer Portal and let Stripe handle this for ya

plush terrace
#

Ah, interesting! We've already got pretty much everything managed through our own dash, so the portal is prob off the table for us and the payment el listing methods is nice, but we also need to display in the context where a user is receiving an email or just seeing what's set on their subscription. No worries though. I think the solution I mentioned will do it

Sounds good! Good luck 🙂
