Example of the payments elements which show "only" one credit card (**** 0341) but not the other ones?
shell tapir
HI 👋
The Payment Element will only display a single saved payment method
regal arrow
Hi 🙂 Oh okay!
I had once the option to "switch" to another one - but somehow even that is not available anymore?
I could select another credit card in the Payment Element
There was something like a button "More information" and there I was able to select it
shell tapir
I'm not sure what you are referring to. Do you have an example integration that displays this behavior?
regal arrow
Thats the thing, I can't reproduce it right now sadly, hm
But nevermind, that's no big deal tbh
So when the customer has set PayPal as preferred payment method (Default) - is there any way I can let him use that without re-authenticating again with PayPal?
shell tapir
You might double check your payment element integration against what we have here and see if there are any differences.
regal arrow
Yes, looks fine in my code. But it doesn't display PayPal as saved method - is that not supported?
shell tapir
Is the PayPal payment method saved with allow_redisplay set to a value that will permit you to share it?
regal arrow
Hm I can't find where I should set allow_redisplay
To add a new payment method:
- I create a customer session
- Load the payment element
- Now stripe adds it to the customer when I invoke it
shell tapir
You need to specify the allow_redisplay parameter if you want to be able to display that saved payment method in the Payment Element
regal arrow
Hm okay, that referes to the PaymentMethod object
But I don't use the ->paymentMethods->create() feature within my backend
I create a setup intent in a payment element and load it there, then the customer can add his card and process it, now stripe handles the creation
shell tapir
You would need to specify the payment_method_data.allow_redisplay parameter when creating the Setup Intent
regal arrow
Oh okay! I will try that now quick 🙂
Hm. Now it requires me to set "type" as well, but I can't specify a specific type like "paypal" - I want it to apply to all types, is that possible?
Because we don't work with specific types, we work with all available (automatically listed by stripe)
shell tapir
What is the exact error message?
shell tapir
And when you include payment_method_type: "paypal", that throws an error?
regal arrow
No, then it works, but will that not just work with paypal then and not with others?

I have now this options set to create a setup intent, which works fine right now
I've added with use of this setup intent client secret and payment elements now paypal as payment method
When I navigate to the checkout, I can't re-use paypal in this case. Why?

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...
Our recommended approach for displaying saved payment methods in the Payment Element is here: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/existing-customers?platform=web&ui=elements
Can you give that approach a try and see if it works the way you want?
regal arrow
Yes, I have set "payment_method_redisplay" => "enabled" in my customer session creation.
Anything else is also similar :/
abstract blaze
I'm checking, but we might have limited support for the various payment method types you can surface...
I know we support cards, US bank accounts, and SEPA, but I think we might not have support for other stuff like PayPal right now.
regal arrow
I have now this options set to create a setup intent, which works fine right now
Yes I understand, so is there any chance I can define multiple types instead of a single one like in my case "paypal"?
abstract blaze
Just to make sure I understand, when you specify paypal, it works and shows the saved PayPal stuff in the Payment Element?
regal arrow
No actually it doesn't, but I've expected so 🙂
That's what I'm trying to do (:
I've seen now on bottom "Payment Method object"
That has a property "allow_redisplay" set to "unspecified"
When trying to perform a test payment with paypal
abstract blaze
If you update that Payment Method and set allow_redisplay to always can you then get it to show up in the Payment Element? https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods/update#update_payment_method-allow_redisplay
Ah, okay, just found some internal info that confirms saved PayPal won't show up in the Payment Element yet. It's not something we support yet.
regal arrow
Ah thank you for researching! That's just what I've thought 🙂
So in that case, thanks for your effort. You guys and this support is absolutely insane. Love it. Keep it up!
Thanks again a lot of times for taking time to do this research and have a nice day 🙂

Happy to help!
