I intend to take the users card details at sign-up, and then have the flexibility to allow them to pay from relevant parts of the app

Hi there! You basically want to wrap any Components that will have Stripe Components within.

Oh - so are you saying I can have multiple <Element> components within my app?
I thought it's just one
sick sleet
Well you could use a Card Element and the Payment Request Button Element for instance.
So you can use multiple Stripe Elements, you would just use one <Element/> to set your Stripe Promise.
But the level just depends where you are using Payment Element for example.

Got it! So I should technically avoid wrapping the root of my app, and if possible, narrow it down to wrapping the parent component that would have the stripe elements contained within
I'm going to refer to this for implementation: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/quickstart
While you are still here however, what happens if rather than just taking a payment, I only want to store the card details provided ?

It really is up to you for where you want to wrap it, as long as it is outside of any Stripe Components.
You can store card details via a SetupIntent

Okay thanks for the link!
What the difference between what you have sent me, and this: https://stripe.com/docs/saving-cards
Which is the up-to-date version? 😄
