Hi there!

heyo!

What is your question exactly?

#

So we're using CardElements with Subscriptions, and creating a Subscription on the backend and then fetching latest_invoice.payment_intent and forwarding the client secret to the CardElement front end

#

If the user is an existing customer, I wanted to have the option to use default payment method. So my initial idea was just to toggle/hide the CardElement and display some details of their default PM (with a link underneath to "use a new card" which would reveal the CardElement).

My issue is that I'm just hiding the CardElement, but I really need to clear it and then hide it. So I wasnt sure if there was a javascript method for clearing the CardElement.

And then, I was curious as to if this is a decent way to do this, or if there's some way* to hook up the default PM to the CardElement.

I'm not sure I understand. Can you clarify what the flow would look like?

There's no pre-built way to display or select a default Payment Method. That's something that you need to build on your end.

Gotcha on the second part

#

So this is what my final checkout looks like

#

#

if the click the link below the CardElement it hides the CardElement:

#

But the "problem" is that I've only hidden the card element, and I need to clear it as well, so that when Place Order is pressed, there is no (new) card details sent, since I'm using save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription' in my Subscription creation call

Just bumping in case this got overlooked, but no rush

@untold sable You need a way to clear the CardElement, is that right?
