So I disabled the Link button when I created the cardNumberElement could this be the issue?

const cardNumberElement = elements.create('cardNumber', {
style: style,
disableLink: true
});

This is the Payment Request Button that the email is referring to : https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-js/elements/payment-request-button. We recommend you migrate to the Express Checkout Element which is https://docs.stripe.com/elements/express-checkout-element.

There's a migration guide mentioned here : https://docs.stripe.com/elements/express-checkout-element/migration

even if the goal of the implementation is to save cards for later charging?

I'm not taking payments for this one, just need to save the card information into stripe for later charging.

[pallid cloak]

even if the goal of the implementation is to save cards for later charging?

yes, we still recommend you migrate to Express Checkout Element

[olive gate]

Looking at the migration guide it looks like it only show's saving the card during payments. My current Implementation is following this guide https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/features/saving-cards/save-cards-directly?terminal-sdk-platform=js which again align's with my goal of saving the card directly with no charge invovled (though the guide is for terminals I applied the same logic using Stripe JS), using setupIntent's and I use Stripe Elements for the cardNumber, cardExpiry, and cardCvc. Do you have a similar guide for that in Express Checkout? can't seem to find it.

[pallid cloak]

The logic is similar, if you're having trouble, we can help advise. At a high level, instead of using mode: payment, you would use mode: setup, and instead of using PaymentIntents, you would use SetupIntents. In short, as long as you're using Payment Request Button, we recommend you migrate to the Express Checkout Element.

[olive gate]

Ok, additional question If I use Stripe Checkout using the mode: setup this still aligns with my goals of Save payment details to charge customers later correct?

[pallid cloak]

yes, that works too

[olive gate]

Ok great thanks for the information! I'll tinker around with Express Checkout Element for now is there an implementation guide for it? The doc's kinda seem vauge on how use the Express Checkout Elements.

[pallid cloak]

hmmmm, we don't have a specific guide for saving a payment method with the Express Checkout Element. It's really this flow : https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web, but modified to use an Express Checkout Element instead
