Hello 👋
Can you clarify what do you mean by identifiers here?

#

If a user uses a card for example, identifiers would be the last 4, expiry, and brand of the card.

#

Not entirely sure what identifiers mean for other payment methods quite yet 😅 Still working that out with design.

#

ah okay! I do believe there are events that you can listen for on the element itself

velvet wasp Apr 15, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

Ah right, there are. Looking into that right now.

#

Darn, it looks like the only value they have out of the ones I'm looking for is the currently selected payment method type.

There is a way using stripe.createPaymentMethod() that returns some of those identifiers but it doesn't look like it supports payment element types.

I dug through a little and it doesn't seem like there is a stripe.retrievePaymentMethod() method or anything similar.

Hmm let me take a look
If the events don't work, we may have to jerry-rig it 😄

Yeah part of me really wants to make this work but my gut tells me there's a reason why I can't readily access this lol.

#

Yeah the idea is to keep the information secure and avoid any leaks in the memory 😄

#

Yeah, I'll figure it out eventually. If anything I can speak to my team about maybe changing up the flow a little to remove the need for a payment method preview.

#

Thanks Hanzo 🙂
