FIXED_BYSolution

You can use the `redirect` option to keep the customer on the page when confirming the checkout — when confirming the checkout. Tension: This only works for payments that can happen entirely on your page. Outcome: const result = await checkout.confirm({ redirect: 'if_required' });.

FIXED_BYSolution

Configure the client-side Stripe Elements/provider to use the same connected account by passing `stripeAccount` (matching the account used when creating the PaymentIntent).

Try passing this to the confirmPayment method — await confirmPayment(clientSecret, {. Outcome: paymentMethodData: { paymentMethodId: selectedPaymentMethodId},.

FIXED_BYSolution

If you want to use the Payment Element, you can create either a PaymentIntent or SetupIntent. Tension: Checkout Sessions and the Payment Element are two separate/different integration paths. Outcome: use the corresponding `client_secret` [0][1] which looks like `pi_..._secret_...` and `seti_..._secret_...` respectively.

FIXED_BYSolution

You can then use retrievePaymentIntent to retrieve a subset of information about the transaction. — client-side in the step you create PaymentIntent and before confirming them. Tension: It's totally safe to have it again in client-side. Outcome: On server-side, the same Retrieve Payment Intent API will returns the full transaction information.

FIXED_BYSolution

Use the documented `return_url` pattern where Stripe appends `payment_intent` and `payment_intent_client_secret` to the redirect URL; ensure the redirect page is served over TLS/HTTPS and do not log or expose the secret beyond the customer.
