Hi there

#

Do you have a request ID or a SetupIntent ID you can share?

I think I managed to get it to work (maybe a caching problem). But I'm still confused by it

#

Does a setup intent have to be specifically created for one payment method? Or can I do it for multiple things

#

The error message indicates it has to be done specifically?

#

What do you mean exactly by "multiple things"?

#

A SetupIntent is essentially a state machine used for collecting payment details from a customer. Once the SetupIntent is in canceled or succeeded state, those are terminal states so nothing else can be done with that SetupIntent

As in can I use the same client secret to set up multiple payment methods

So this piece of code seems to be working:

const setupIntent = await stripe.setupIntents.create({
  customer: customer.id,
  payment_method_types: ["card", "paypal"],
  payment_method_data: {
    type: "paypal",
  },
});

But does that mean this will only work for PayPal? Or can I also set up cards with it

A SetupIntent's client secret can only be used to set up a single payment method (of any type you specify though)

#

So if you've used a SetupIntent to save a card PaymentMethod and now you want to save a Paypal PaymentMethod, you'll need to create a second SetupIntent.

#

The code above can be used to create a SetupIntent that can be used to create either a card PaymentMethod or a Paypal PaymentMethod

#

Understood, the thing I'm trying to understand is why I have to specify payment_method_data for my code to work for PayPal

Okay, but there is no side-effect when I use a setup intent specifying this to set up a different payment method?
