Find braintree payment method token when failOnDup for paymentMethod.create is called

I'm trying to create a customer and subscription in the same workflow.

My logic requires that the email be unique so no two vaulted customers will have the same email.

My workflow is to only create a customer if the customer isn't found in the vault. The customer creation process includes the payment method. I need the paymentMethod token in order to create the subscription.

My hope was to not add duplicate paymentMethods so I'm using {failOnDuplicatePaymentMethod: true}. However, given a nonce and a customer, I can check if the customer is a dup, and I can check if the paymentMethod is a dup - but how do I get that exact paymentMethod token if the customer has N payment methods?

I assumed that the failOnDup would return the token of the dup Payment method - but that isn't the case.

What I'm trying to do is have a single subscription signup with email and payment but a customer can enter a different credit card for each subscription. I want the customer to have a single vaulted account, with N payment methods but I need the paymentMethod token of the last paymentMethod in order to create the subscription.

Full disclosure: I work as a developer for Braintree

Braintree does not support a way to retrieve the duplicate payment method after a payment method fails to create because a duplicate payment method exists.

You can retrieve the payment methods from an existing customer and present them via our Drop-in or your own custom integration. I recommend reaching out to Braintree support to help you with your integration and figure out all of your options.
