Which path would you recommend basically?
little stag
Basically, which how would you do it basically, how would I update my intent when the payment method changes
unkempt coyote
can you be a lot more precise in your question? at what point exactly in your flow you want tu update the PaymentIntent? and what exactly do you want to update on the PaymentIntent?
little stag
whenever the user changes its payment method
unkempt coyote
I don't understand the question. can you explain with multiple sentence the exact flow you are having issues with? something like:
- the user is on my website, and I created a Subscription
- then the user click on this button
- at that point I want to change the default payment method of the user
- but, for this to work, I need to do X
- how can I do X?
little stag
sure let me think, i'm a bit tired today, sorry 😅
unkempt coyote
no worries. but the more details you share, the esaier it will be for me to help.
little stag
basically i'm unsure about how i should update my checkout items (custom checkout is basically Checkout API with Elements) whenever the users changes its payment method so it shows the proper informations ("includes free trial") in the confirm page
unkempt coyote
wait, you are using Custom Checout? That's something that is in beta, so we don't know much about it on Discord. you should reach out to support directly, and make it clear you are using this integration: https://support.stripe.com/contact
little stag
yeah i know it's in beta but i'm not asking about the beta part, more about the checkout api part
okay found how I should ask my question: is there a way to update the line items in a checkout session or do i have to create a new one?
unkempt coyote
once a Checkout Session is created, you can only update the metadata and nothing else: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/update
but Custom Checkout might be different, that's why I recommend asking Stripe support direclty.
