Correct. Specifically, a card-type PaymentMethod.

Sure, you would use a SetupIntent with Payment Sheet in that case: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=ios&mobile-ui=payment-element

Ok, thanks. I'll give this a shot.
While I have you, do you know if this will require any backend changes, if we were already doing same with the Card Element UI framework?
restive elbow
Yeah likely some minor tweaks
You need to return the Customer ID here to the frontend
languid narwhal
I'm still refamiliarizing myself with our existing implementation but, off the cuff, it seems like the SetupIntent is a new step here, maybe?
restive elbow
Potentially -- it really depends on what you were doing before.
It is entirely possible that previously you were just collecting a Token or PaymentMethod on your frontend and passing that to your backend and then handling stuff there.
As opposed to calling your backend to help handle stuff on your frontend (this flow)

Ok... I'll dig into this and report back here if I encounter any hangups. Thanks for the info.
restive elbow
👍
languid narwhal
Does a SetupIntent have a unique, standardized prefix, like other API objects? (e.g. cus_, ephKey_, etc)
Looks like maybe seti_

Operational question: Can other users add comments to this Discord thread? Perhaps it'd be helpful for my backend colleague to drop in here with questions about the same topic.
