## Fetch Server Updates

Used with the [Payment Element](/payments/payment-element.md).

This method fetches updates from the associated [PaymentIntent](/api/payment_intents.md) or [SetupIntent](/api/setup_intents.md) on an existing instance of `Elements`, and reflects these updates in the Payment Element.

This method returns a `Promise` which resolves with a result object.
If this method succeeds, the result object will be empty.
If this method fails, the result object will contain a localized error message in the `error.message` field. If the associated [PaymentIntent](/api/payment_intents) or [SetupIntent](/api/setup_intents) is in an unexpected status, the result object will also contain the intent's status in the `error.status` field.

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

### Fetch Server Updates

```js
elements.fetchUpdates()
  .then(function(result) {
    // Handle result.error
  });
```

```es_next
const {error} = await elements.fetchUpdates();
```
