Are you trying to get the Payment Element to autofill all the fields and just allow the customer to update them if they want? (e.g. expiration date, cvv, etc.)

Auto-filling would be nice, but not required. The most important aspect is allowing user to EDIT the existing payment method (even if they have to fill-out all of the inputs). We want to avoid the current outcome of a NEW payment method being created.

As far as I know, a new Payment Method will always be created from customer input on the Payment Element. That goes for whether or not they use the existing Payment Method.

OK, thank you for looking into this. One last question regarding this... What is the purpose/benefit of assigning the "PaymentMethod" parameter when creating a SetupIntent.
https://docs.stripe.com/api/setup_intents/create#create_setup_intent-payment_method

We assumed this would allow the EDIT of that existing Payment Method, but maybe there is some other purpose for this parameter.

I think that's intended for workflows that don't use Payment Element (e.g. if you wanted to confirm a Setup Intent from the back-end with an existing Payment Method)

#

Ah, that makes sense. OK, thank you!!

Sure thing!

@ornate moat you can also show previously saved/attached PaymentMethods directly in PaymentElement. See https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-customer-payment-methods#display-existing-saved-payment-methods
