In first purchase, we used checkout session. but when user's credit run out, we'd like to recharge same service.

@worn ermine Checkout is our product to accept a payment on our hosted UI when they pay the first time. It's definitely not what you want (or need) for the "auto-recharge)
What you want instead is save the Customer's card details so that you can charge that card again in the future. This is covered in details in https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse
worn ermine
yes, I know already. but which should I use payment api? I am confused it because Stripe has several solutions
molten yoke
All good, I'm just trying to show you how to do this. The doc I linked you to has the exact answer right here: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted#use-payment-method
So what part is confusing?
worn ermine
ok. thank you
May I use saved payment methods on checkout session? Even though I use exist customer, checkout session load new payment method setup
molten yoke
Is this another question? Or the same question? I ask because you don't need Checkout for those next payments
worn ermine
This is another question
molten yoke
gotcha, just making sure!
So it is possible to show one card but it's really complex because of various rules and regulations around showing previously saved cards. My advice here is to not bother trying, it's too hard and brittle. Instead just let the customers use Link which is our wallet payment methods and it will automatically prefill in that case. See https://stripe.com/payments/link
worn ermine
awesome. thanks
molten yoke
sure thing!
worn ermine
Hi, Sorry. However, It is difficult to finish charge as manual using paymentIntent create api.
molten yoke
you forgot to confirm.
See https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=elements#charge-saved-payment-method which has real code examples
worn ermine
May I this on backend? This means that it is attempting direct payment without user activities. auto recharge using default payment method
molten yoke
yes that's exactly what this is for
worn ermine
It works! thank you 👍
