Create a PaymentIntent

Creates a PaymentIntent object.

After the PaymentIntent is created, attach a payment method and confirm to continue the payment. Learn more about the available payment flows with the Payment Intents API.

When you use confirm=true during creation, it’s equivalent to creating and confirming the PaymentIntent in the same call. You can use any parameters available in the confirm API when you supply confirm=true.

Request body

FieldTypeDescription
amount*integer

Amount intended to be collected by this PaymentIntent. A positive integer representing how much to charge in the smallest currency unit (e.g., 100 cents to charge $1.00 or 100 to charge ¥100, a zero-decimal currency). The minimum amount is $0.50 US or equivalent in charge currency. The amount value supports up to eight digits (e.g., a value of 99999999 for a USD charge of $999,999.99).

amount_detailsobject

Provides industry-specific information about the amount.

5 nested fields
FieldTypeDescription
discount_amountinteger | string
enforce_arithmetic_validationboolean
line_itemsarray<object> | string
shippingobject | string
taxobject | string
application_fee_amountinteger

The amount of the application fee (if any) that will be requested to be applied to the payment and transferred to the application owner's Stripe account. The amount of the application fee collected will be capped at the total amount captured. For more information, see the PaymentIntents use case for connected accounts.

automatic_payment_methodsobject

When you enable this parameter, this PaymentIntent accepts payment methods that you enable in the Dashboard and that are compatible with this PaymentIntent's other parameters.

2 nested fields
FieldTypeDescription
allow_redirectsstring
enabled*boolean
capture_methodstring

Controls when the funds will be captured from the customer's account.

confirmboolean

Set to true to attempt to confirm this PaymentIntent immediately. This parameter defaults to false. When creating and confirming a PaymentIntent at the same time, you can also provide the parameters available in the Confirm API.

confirmation_methodstring

Describes whether we can confirm this PaymentIntent automatically, or if it requires customer action to confirm the payment.

confirmation_tokenstring

ID of the ConfirmationToken used to confirm this PaymentIntent. If the provided ConfirmationToken contains properties that are also being provided in this request, such as payment_method, then the values in this request will take precedence.

currency*string (currency)

Three-letter ISO currency code, in lowercase. Must be a supported currency.

customerstring

ID of the Customer this PaymentIntent belongs to, if one exists. Payment methods attached to other Customers cannot be used with this PaymentIntent. If setup_future_usage is set and this PaymentIntent's payment method is not card_present, then the payment method attaches to the Customer after the PaymentIntent has been confirmed and any required actions from the user are complete. If the payment method is card_present and isn't a digital wallet, then a generated_card payment method representing the card is created and attached to the Customer instead.

customer_accountstring

ID of the Account representing the customer that this PaymentIntent belongs to, if one exists. Payment methods attached to other Accounts cannot be used with this PaymentIntent. If setup_future_usage is set and this PaymentIntent's payment method is not card_present, then the payment method attaches to the Account after the PaymentIntent has been confirmed and any required actions from the user are complete. If the payment method is card_present and isn't a digital wallet, then a generated_card payment method representing the card is created and attached to the Account instead.

descriptionstring

An arbitrary string attached to the object. Often useful for displaying to users.

error_on_requires_actionboolean

Set to true to fail the payment attempt if the PaymentIntent transitions into requires_action. Use this parameter for simpler integrations that don't handle customer actions, such as saving cards without authentication. This parameter can only be used with confirm=true.

excluded_payment_method_typesarray<string>

The list of payment method types to exclude from use with this payment.

expandarray<string>

Specifies which fields in the response should be expanded.

Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

off_sessionboolean | string

Set to true to indicate that the customer isn't in your checkout flow during this payment attempt and can't authenticate. Use this parameter in scenarios where you collect payment method details and charge them later. This parameter can only be used with confirm=true.

on_behalf_ofstring

The Stripe account ID that these funds are intended for. Learn more about the use case for connected accounts.

payment_detailsobject

FieldTypeDescription
customer_referencestring | string
order_referencestring | string
payment_methodstring

ID of the payment method (a PaymentMethod, Card, or compatible Source object) to attach to this PaymentIntent. If you omit this parameter with confirm=true, customer.default_source attaches as this PaymentIntent's payment instrument to improve migration for users of the Charges API. We recommend that you explicitly provide the payment_method moving forward. If the payment method is attached to a Customer, you must also provide the ID of that Customer as the customer parameter of this PaymentIntent.

payment_method_configurationstring

The ID of the payment method configuration to use with this PaymentIntent.

payment_method_dataobject

If provided, this hash will be used to create a PaymentMethod. The new PaymentMethod will appear in the payment_method property on the PaymentIntent.
