I would focus on why you are getting duplicates in the first place and try to fix that

#

I was thinking about that but I cant find a solution there, flow is like this customer has a added cards list and also "Add a new card" button

#

card adding happens on frontend, back is generating setup intent and fron is creating a payment method

#

on this flow if customer will add the same card 10 times, he will get 10 cards on his cards view because stripe doesn't care about duplicates as I understand (and honestly I dont know if stripe should care or not about this)

#

on frontend side then entering card I cant restrict the user because I dont know all the cards he/she has at the time, because card data is protected and its not a plain text

#

so how I can know if customer is adding a duplicated cards? but after adding I can check for fingerprints, but I dont like this solution

torpid glen
#

Ah so the issue is the customer can just add multiple cards

#

Do you want them/need for them to have multiple cards?

#

You could restrict (on your end) for them to only add 1 card

turbid spire
#

Yes, they may have multiple visa/mastercard cards so they are adding everything and during the checkout picking which one to use

#

no I cant restrict them to use only one card

torpid glen
#

Oh ok. I wouldn't worry about duplicates then

#

Are users frequently entering the same card multiple times?

#

It shouldn't effect anything

turbid spire
#

Well during the testing yes 🙂 this issue come from the client after they saw same cards multiple times in their profile

#

I was not thinking about this as a problem at first but now it became my problem 😄

torpid glen
#

Ah ok

turbid spire
torpid glen
#

So are they saying they entered it only once yet they see multiple?

turbid spire
#

No, they entered card multiple times

torpid glen
#

Got it

turbid spire
#

but they want to only see one

torpid glen
#

Other option is you can give them the option to delete cards in the UI

#

So if they eneter a duplicate they can delete the old one

turbid spire
#

They have that option to delete

#

But you know, customer is lazy want the application to do everything

turbid spire

Gotcha one sec

#

Yeah if you have to do this for the user, then the workaround you shared is the best option

turbid spire
#

ok thank you, have a nice day

torpid glen

You too!
