HI 👋

#

A payment intent is simple meant to capture the intent to pay a merchant

#

It does not, in itself, capture that that merchant is being paid for

#

It's a building block

Hey Snufkin thanks for the quick response!
I suppose there is another "building block" being used to track which products have been bought then? and If so how can I tell which payment intent belongs to it

You can accomplish some degree of tracking by using the metadata property on Payment Intents

#

the Checkout Session does use line_items with price and product information

#

If you want more control over your front-end, like using Payment Intents, but want more tracking of products and quantities you can take a look at our Orders API which is currently in beta but publicly testable: https://stripe.com/docs/api/orders_v2

Awesome! That is exactly the piece that I was missing! I see it has the payment Intents ID and list of products. thank you very much. 🙏
Since this is in beta I'm wondering how this was accomplished before, I mean there has to be a way to associate a payment intent with the corresponding order, or was this done internally somehow ?

Well we also have Invoices but that comes with a bunch of other configurations and use-cases
