Can you describe your current flow with code and/or links to APIs you're using?

[past glen]

I mean that /elements/sessions endpoint is internal/private so you shoudn't be using/relying on that at all

[past glen]

Sorry, I really don't have the time to read those extensive diagrams

[quaint oasis]

sorry I have just seen your last

[past glen]

Overall I'm super confused about your integration, what exactly it is you're trying to do/build and where the problems lie. Seems like you're using the customer portal which doesn't really make sense I think in your context?

[quaint oasis]

We have a customer portal which allows end users to may payments into there accounts.

We gather there payment method data using a stripe elements session

[past glen]

Ah, ok. My bad I interpreted that as Stripe's customer portal

[past glen]

As I said, you should stop referencing that API/endpoint. It's internal, not public. Likelihood is you're using the Payment Element which uses that endpoint under the hood

[quaint oasis]

at the point of the customer confirming they wish to make the payment we create the master record of the payment in our system on our server side and then create the payment intent. the payment intetnt is then passed back to our customer portal so that the customer portal can sent the call to complete the payment intent with the elements session

[past glen]

What is the problem you're having today?

[quaint oasis]

agreed the elements session is collecting this data

[quaint oasis]

I am keen to know if my client side customer portal and push the details of the element sesion to my server side so that the server side can make the confirmation call on the payment intent.

[past glen]

OK, let's take a step back. What code do you use in your portal to initialise the Payment Element? Is this done before you create an intent with us?

[past glen]

Yes, via a Confirmation Token: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/finalize-payments-on-the-server?platform=web&type=payment

[quaint oasis]

Yes the element session is created prior to the payment intent.

Cheers I will give this a read. Thanks
