It is expected that SetupIntent does not set an amount

is there anyway that I could achieve something like this during set up, because I'm using subscription so I guess I can't use confirmPayment() for that
boreal comet
I don't think that's possible. We don't have a way to check if a card has sufficient funds / or its credit limits before an actual charge, since we require the card issuer (customer's bank) to actually return this error code to us.
the purpose of Setup Intent is to tell Stripe you intent to charge this payment method in the future, it does not check if a card has enough credit
stuck gyro
okay, is there any better way to handle that error? I am currently doing it like this: confirmSetup -> create subscription -> payment fails due to insufficient funds -> show the user the "open" invoice and let them pay again
boreal comet
Yes if the payment fails, then you would need to collect a new payment method. Redirecting the customer back to the invoice for payment is the right way to handle this error

okay thanks!

You can also consider leveraging our failed payment notifications [0] for payment recovery. 🙂
