Hi 👋
Are you referring to the Hosted Invoice Page? The web UI that you are sent to when you navigate to the hosted_invoice_url?
neon hazel
Yes I believe, here is an image
viscid rock
Okay and you are expecting saved payment methods to be present on this UI?
neon hazel
Yes
viscid rock
Have those payment methods been saved with the correct allow_redisplay parameter?
neon hazel
Have those payment methods been saved with the correct `allow_redisplay` paramet...
I don't see allow_redisplay in the docs?
Also the payment method is attached to the customer
and the transactions show the payment method i am passing in Invoice.create
viscid rock
That doesn't mean we will display it, if the customer has not explicitly granted consent for this payment method to be displayed
neon hazel
Have those payment methods been saved with the correct `allow_redisplay` paramet...
Where does this get passed to? The invoice? or another object?
Ah it's limited ~
viscid rock
Wait sorry let me take a step back, you said you are passing the payment method during Invoice create, but you are using the collection method "send invoice"
neon hazel
Wait sorry let me take a step back, you said you are passing the payment method ...
Yes
viscid rock
I think you might be working at cross purposes. The intent of collection_method: "send_invoice" is to provide the Customer with a UI that allows them to enter new payment method information
neon hazel
I was just trying to pre fill it to show something, my main goal is to send invoices to customers and they see existing payment methods on file to select from instead of manually inputting it
It seems what I have to do is listen to webhooks when payment methods are added and update allow_redisplay to true. Correct? and remove default_payment_method for create invoice
viscid rock
How are your customers saving their payment methods?
neon hazel
They are not, they are just going to pay invoices
so it gets saved automatically by stripe after their first paid invoice
viscid rock
And you have seen this behavior previously with the Hosted Invoice Page? I'm in the middle of writing a test integration but I notice our docs do not mention displaying saved payment methods here:
https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/hosted-invoice-page
neon hazel
No I have never done this successfully, but it's what I want to do
Currently my users are manually inputting info every time
viscid rock
Okay but I'm not 100% certain that functionality exists. Let me check with a colleague in case I'm missing something.
neon hazel
Yeah I don't think it exists because Allow Redisplay is set to 'always' and it's still not appearing on the invoice page.
viscid rock
Yeah I just tested with a Payment Method I configured to always.
I am thinking you would also need to set something on the Invoice object itself. Where we have implemented this functionality, e.g. Stripe Checkout, we allow require you to specify that you want to display saved PMS
viscid rock
I don't see anything similar on the Invoice object
viscid rock
No I think that's valid. Let me see if that is something in the works
Yup this has been raised in the past. It is something we are working on but the security requirements are non-trivial.
This is because, anyone who has that link would be able to trigger a payment on that payment method. We don't require a login or anything like that using the Hosted Invoice Page
neon hazel
Oh that makes sense
viscid rock
Yeah so you can see why it might take a while to get all the security in place before we can allow something like that.
Still, it's a feature we know people want so we are reviewing how we can do it. You can sign up for our developer newsletter to stay informed of future developments.
