in the solidus back end, when i have the stripe integration installed, when i go to the Payments tab for an order & try to add a stripe credit card, it doesn't seem to be possible - is it expected that it would be possible to add a credit card via stripe for a user's order from the back end?

Are you using Stripe v5? If yes, I don’t think it’s doable at the moment, because paying with that card might require some confirmation from the user (see Strong Customer Authentication). Is having operators adding the payment in admin something that happens often in your experience?

no, it is insane! but that does seem to be the standard for the marina industry - with bigwigs calling on the phone to book 🤷

🙂 I understand, and in Europe we have stricter rules for that, I think that behavior might also violate GDPR in some ways. BTW, I think if that’s a common use case it’s not incredibly hard to add the payment form to the admin as well. It’s a matter of replicating what’s in the frontend partial also in the backend.

would adding a payment via the API when using stripe v5 also involve strong customer authentication?
