Hello
Taking a look
Can you clarify why you want to prefill a past PaymentMethod when using a SetupIntent?
SetupIntents are meant to collect new PaymentMethods
So this doesn't really make sense that it would re-setup the previous PaymentMethod...

Our checkout flow is a little bit different in the sense that we initialize the page we don't know yet the amount and lines items that will be purchased
It was suggested to us that we could use Setup Intent in that case
But only confirm the SetupIntent when a new payment method was added during checkout
On page submition we create a confirmationToken that we use to generate an Invoice and confirm the payment intent from the invoice
The problem that I am facing is that I have to either start the elements with a Payment Intent or a Setup Intent and neither fits well our use case
Is there a way to initialize the elements only with a customerSession that I missed?

Yeah you want the deferred intent flow: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=payment
Then you don't need a PaymentIntent or SetupIntent up front

But in that doc it says that I need to initialize the payment element with a amount
Can I use a fake amount like 0 and then change it later on the server?

You can call elements.update to change the amount on the frontend when you know the proper amount: https://docs.stripe.com/js/elements_object/update#elements_update-options-amount
But it has to match whatever you create the payment intent with
tired bronze
ok, so the value passe to elements.update has to match the invoice amount
