Hi there 👋 please give me a moment to catch up

No problem! In case it wasn't clear from my initial question, I essentially want to create a PaymentMethod for future use for a customer via the Stripe card reader with some metadata attached allowing us to give the card a nickname for future use.
celest cave
it is generally not possible to add another type of identifier, like a nickname, to a payment method. You're right to use metadata: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods/create#create_payment_method-metadata

Cool yup! That's kind of what I was seeing; my struggle is that I can't have the metadata object be present without specifying the "type" field on the PaymentMethodData field within the parameters, but once I have that specified, it either disallows "card_present" or requires information about a "card" that I won't have yet because I'm trying to collect it through the reader.

Hmm..do you mind sharing with me your Stripe account so I can take a closer look at your integration? You can find your account id by logging in to https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account . It'll have the prefix acct_

Okay so let's use this request (req_qtdTg6fqkSAApv) for example, where the error says "Direct creation of PaymentMethods for type 'card_present' is disallowed." — it looks like you are creating a Setup Intent for a "card_present" payment method, but this is not the correct approach to save a "card_present" payment method, hence the error message.
The correct way to save a card collected from Terminal Reader is stated here: https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/features/saving-payment-details/overview

I see. So the only way I'd be able to save any metadata on that payment method is AFTER we've collected the generated_card from the stripe reader and then go update that payment method?
celest cave
Yup, if you want to add a metadata to the collected payment method, you will have to retrieve the payment method and update it seperately
fallow glade
got it; yeah what i was looking for was whether there was a shortcut to kind of add it to the payment method pre-emptively with the new setup intent but fine if i just gotta add it after the payment method has been created. Thanks!
celest cave
no problem, let us know if we can help with anything else!
