Can’t Reuse Payment Intent

    Initial payments work fine, but we are sharing the PI and PM with a recurring billing platform so they can continue making charges for the purchased subscription. When we attempt to reuse the PI though, we get this: “The provided PaymentMethod was previously used with a PaymentIntent without Customer attachment, shared with a connected account without Customer attachment, or was detached from a Customer. It may not be used again.” We are receiving the stripe_customer token in the WC order, but it isn’t attached to the PI. I read some comments in this forum about ‘guest’ customers being created instead of real Stripe customers, and have tried setting the Advanced option “Guest Customer Creation” to both checked and unchecked and the results are the same. The “Customer Creation” option is set to “When a customer ID is required”.

    Is there something we need to configure, or possibly modify in the code to ensure that we can reuse the intent?

    Thank You!

    Hi @andybrundell

    This is most likely happening because you are not adding the setup_future_usage property with a value of off_session. You can use the filter wc_stripe_force_save_payment_method to indicate that you want the payment method attached to the customer.

    Example:

    add_filter('wc_stripe_force_save_payment_method', function($bool){
        return true;
    });

    That will ensure the payment method is attached to the customer. Just make sure you leave the Guest Customer Creation option enabled so the plugin has a customer ID to attach the payment method to.

    Forgive my ignorance because I’m not really much of a WP developer, but it sounds like I can add this statement to the plugin config file somewhere and that’s all I need, is that correct?

    Is the setup_future_usage property handled separately, or will this statement on it’s own be enough?

    The code snippet will handle all of that for you.

    but it sounds like I can add this statement to the plugin config file somewhere

    Not quite. You should install a code snippet plugin, like this one, and add the snippet.
