For some added context:

My company has multiple 'purchase portals', and some of them are still using the older Stripe.js v2. These portals generate Sources, as they're still required by our backend stack. We're in the process of upgrading the entire platform to use PaymentIntents and PaymentMethods, but it will take time.
Other (newer) parts of our platform use PaymentIntents, PaymentMethods and Stripe.js v3.
We're in the process of migrating ALL portals over to Stripe.js v3, but we still need to generate Sources while we wait for the backend to launch support for PaymentIntents and PaymentMethods
In an ideal world, we'd be able to use a single PaymentElements element for all portals, and simply change the underlying method (createSource() > confirmPayment()) once we're able to deprecate sources completely.

Hello
createSource has been deprecated - https://docs.stripe.com/js/deprecated/sources/create_source

I don't believe it is supported with PaymentElement.

#

createSource predates PaymentElement afaik and was only supported by handful of Elements like card and other async/wallet elements - https://docs.stripe.com/sources#supported-payment-methods

#

Gotcha! Yeah that's why I was hoping that configuring the PaymentElement to explicitly use the 'card' type would help

#

If the PaymentElement itself is not supported, would you happen to know if there's any tricks to using it with the 'sourceData' creation method, as listed here? https://docs.stripe.com/js/deprecated/sources/create_source_data

IIRC that parameter is for redirect based payment methods where you don't really submit raw card information via client-side but are taken to the provider page like klarna, ideal etc

#

It won't work for card payment methods

uneven meteor Oct 23, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

Understood

#

Would you happen to know if there's any documentation that I could point to as far as the lack of support for PaymentElements w/ createSources? I'd like to be able to show something to my team, if possible

Hmm I don't think we have any specific doc calling that out but you may be able to share this doc - https://docs.stripe.com/sources/cards#create-source

It shows card element being used with createSource and createSource has been deperecated where PaymentElement is not.
