#

can send that to the client for stripe.confirmSetup({
clientSecret, ?

atomic raptor Mar 9, 2026, 12:01 PM

#

for trials you need to use the https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent

turbid shadow Mar 9, 2026, 12:02 PM

#

so you can use that confirmation secrect on stripe.confirmSetup({
clientSecret?

#

👋 Hey, taking over here, just taking a look

#

Yes, the secret in pending_setup_intent.client_secret is what goes into stripe.confirmSetup() in that case

turbid shadow Mar 9, 2026, 12:09 PM

#

i mean in this case latest_invoice.confirmation_secret

elfin breach Mar 9, 2026, 12:10 PM

#

Where there is no trial, yes, this is what you would use

turbid shadow Mar 9, 2026, 12:11 PM

#

i was trying to use confirmationtoken from the client but you dont seem to be able to make a payment method from it on the server to check the fingerprint, is that right?

elfin breach Mar 9, 2026, 12:17 PM

#

Yes, the ConfirmationToken is designed to be used to confirm a PaymentIntent or SetupIntent, not as a way to create PaymentMethod objects

turbid shadow Mar 9, 2026, 12:18 PM

#

so i was going to make a payment method on the client and send the id to the server, is that ok?

elfin breach Mar 9, 2026, 12:21 PM

#

Yes, that works, it's basically the approach described in the two-step-confirmation guide you linked above

turbid shadow Mar 9, 2026, 12:27 PM

#

ill see how far i can get now, cheers
