## Submit 

Use `elements.submit()` when creating the [Elements object without an Intent](#stripe_elements_no_intent).

Before confirming a payment, call `elements.submit()` to validate the form fields and collect any data required for [wallets](#payment_element_create-options-wallets). You must wait for this function's promise to resolve (using `async` or `.then`) before performing any other operations.

This method returns a `Promise` which resolves with a result object.
If this method succeeds, the result object contains the selected payment method type in the `selectedPaymentMethod` field.
If this method fails, the result object contains a localized error message in the `error.message` field.

**Syntax:** `elements.submit(...)`

### Submit Elements

```js
elements.submit()
  .then(function(result) {
    // Handle result.error or retrieve result.selectedPaymentMethod
  });
```

```es_next
const {error, selectedPaymentMethod} = await elements.submit();
```
