#harinth-setupintent-metadata
hardy oracle
hello @past garnet , let's talk here
metadata is only accessible via secret key, not publishable, so this is expected
your curl snippet is making a request with your secret API key
past garnet
Yes, but I can retrieve everything else but without metadata
hardy oracle
yes but I explained, by design metadata is not returned when fetched via publishable key. You have to fetch the SetupIntent on your server-side to see metadata and return that to your client-side if needed.
past garnet
So do I need to pass that information along with return url inorder to use that there?
hardy oracle
no
yes but I explained, by design metadata is not returned when fetched via publishable key. You have to fetch the SetupIntent on your server-side to see metadata and return that to your client-side if needed.
you want metadata on your webpage right?
you do this

The scenario is, I have a contact Id value. I will have to add a payment method under a customer related to the contact Id. In the retrieve setupIntent I need to save the payment method along with that contact Id
hardy oracle
yeah so you need to do what I said above, did you understand that part? I can detail if it wasn't clear
you need to do
webpage --> your server endpoint --> retrieve SetupIntent from Stripe
right now you're doing
webpage --> retrieve SetupIntent from Stripe
and that does NOT return metadata

webpage --> your server endpoint --> retrieve SetupIntent from Stripe
So this should be done from the javascript code in return url right?
hardy oracle
I'm not clear on how your integration works but typically it would be your webpage making an AJAX request to your server endpoint where your server-side endpoint accepts a SetupIntent ID and retrieves it
past garnet
On clicking a link in my webpage(Add card), a stripe customer will create in the background and the form to enter card details comes up. After entering details and submit, I am creating a setupIntent and the same get retrieved from the return url via javascript. The payment method id I get from setupIntent.payment_method should be saved in the db along with a contact I'd
This is what I need. I am not sure whether I am doing it correctly.
I thought to use that contact I'd in setupIntent as metadata and retrieve it from the return url metadata and send an ajax to store the payment method id along with that contact
hardy oracle
sorry I think we're talking past each other
basically what you need to do is what I mentioned above
you do not need to fetch the SetupIntent from yoru client-side JS, rather you need to have it fetched from your server
past garnet
Ok, thank you so much
I will do the needful based on this
We should keep payment method id in our db for making payment via payment Intent right?
In future
midnight arrow
Yes, you're welcome to keep the payment method ID in your own database so you can easily reference it for use with future Payment Intents
past garnet
Ok. Thank you
I have one more question.
I have stored lot of cards already in my db with card_xxx and fingerprint. Is there a way to convert those to payment method id, so that I can use those for payment Intent in future
midnight arrow
There is no way to convert those to Payment Methods, but these cards should be backwards compatible. You should be able to use any card_xxx ID where you would use a payment method ID
past garnet
Can I use card_xxx in payment Intent?
midnight arrow
Yup! Just use card_xxx where you would pass in payment_method
past garnet
Okay, so no need to pass pm_xxx always right?
midnight arrow
Correct - if you have older card_xxx objects then you are free to use those
past garnet
Ok. Thank you
