Hey,
To be able to pay with Link payment method, I need to update the PaymentElement options, and due to the update the PE is refreshed which loses the Link payment authentication, therefore the PE looks like it is trying to process a card instead.
errant gale
What did you have to update the options to for Link to work?
ionic jay
We have to do this because it breaks our integration. Let me fetch the errors.
If I don't update the stripe elements, I got this error here
I would like to re-use the payment methdo
I can't use or attach the payment method created during the BNPL for future payments.
And if I try to update the options, the component is re-rendered therefore the Link authentication is lost
errant gale
Ah ok I understand
Yeah there's not really a way to preserve the link auth
I think if you need to accept bnpl, then it may make more sense for you to present the option for that payment method ahead of time to the customer before rending the Payment Element
That way you can know what options to pass on render
ionic jay
As far as I remember, I can't create invoices with those payment methods
For BNPL I'm creating the payment intent direclty, the other payments I'm using invoices.
errant gale
Yeah that's correct
ionic jay
Is there any alternatives to it?
errant gale
Not really. If a customer selects link like that and then you change the element options, you cannot preserve the auth
That's why I suggest you have some page/step first for the customer to indicate whether they want a bnpl payment ahead of time
And then maybe only render the bnpl payment method if they opt for that (ie hide link, card, etc)
ionic jay
Then, I can't really use the BNPL selector in PE, right?
ionic jay
The correct fix would using the Payment Intent instead, right? At leastt, we would be able to select both payment methods.
errant gale
You still wouldn't be able to use setup future usage for bnpl
So if you went that route, you'd have to not use setup_future_usage for any payment method
errant gale
Yes I believe all option updates trigger a re-render
