Hello, can you send me the ID of a PM where that is the case? I think that may happen when Link is being used as a Wallet rather than a Payment Method. If so, you should be able to detect link by checking the card.wallet.type field on the payment method object

#

Oh interesting so I can use it as a Payment Method or a Wallet?

You want an ID of an existing payment method on my live site?

Yeah, though its not something you can directly control, I think it is usually controlled by an internal setting which can make things confusing. Any ID of a PM you've seen this on works, object IDs are typically considered safe to share because they aren't usable without your login/secret key, but if you don't want to share in this channel you can DM it to me.

#

Oh or you can just retrieve the object on your side and see if it has the wallet property

This is the payment method ID for Link coming from my payment intent in my sandbox environment. Does that work? "pi_3SpFBmB1JbW0UpxJ1x66uoTP"

I'm confused how I can check the payment method object. It looks like all I have access too really is the paymentElement and it's event handlers.

Do you have the ID of a customer that you have seen a PM like this saved to? If so you can list payment methods by customer in the API. Or if you print out the full on change event oject I think that should include the pm_ ID

The only property in the change event object is value.type which is set to 'card'

Hi there,
taking over for my colleague who had to step away. The Payment Intent you shared, does not contain any Payment Method (yet) since it is still in state "requires_payment_method".
I have two questions:

When receiving the change event, does it contain only value.type or is there also a value.payment_method object?
Do you have another example of a successful payment? In the example you shared we don't have a Payment Method to look at yet. So we would need either a customer ID, that applies, or a PAyment Intent ID that applies, so I can take a look.

#

there's just value.type in the event object from the change event.

Here's a PI from the sandbox. I checked out with Link when it was rendered as the default option..

#

Thanks, taking a look...

#

Ok, that Payment Intent has the Payment Method pm_1SpFmoB1JbW0UpxJPNkIrS03 attached

#

Which is of type: link

twilit sage Jan 13, 2026, 10:28 PM

#

The event.value.type from the last change event read as card. Is this a bug potentially?

marsh jungle Jan 13, 2026, 10:29 PM

#

What is the object in the log?
