Hello! Can you tell me more about your use case? Why would you create a second Setup Intent if you already successfully confirmed one?

#

Let's say the client decides to update the payment method that they would like to use

late plover Oct 19, 2021, 9:11 PM

#

Ah, meaning they're providing a new method of payment entirely?

knotty thistle Oct 19, 2021, 9:12 PM

#

yes

#

Setup Intents apply to individual Payment Methods, so you would use a new Setup Intent for the new Payment Method. The previous Setup Intent for the other Payment Method that was already successfully confirmed is not involved at all.

#

Okay so we can just let the previous setup intent exist in stripe's db

#

and just not use it

#

Yep, once a Setup Intent is successfully confirmed you can't do much of anything with it after that.

#

okay thanks

They continue to exist as a record of that set up, and their state doesn't change after successful confirmation.
