How to pass additional details (e.g., user email) that I've added to the form
It depends on where you want to save those additional details. And, what do you want to save those additional details for?
If you want to save it on the PaymentMethod - then you're going to need to update it after it's been created : https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/update#update_payment_method-billing_details-email
If you want to save it on the Customer, then you're going to need to create the Customer first : https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create#create_customer-email
How do I retrieve the completed transaction details so that I can store them in my SQL database?
You should rely on webhooks :

Thanks, Alex! I was thinking about saving the email address as a way to search the payments and associate them with the customer without creating full accounts. My app is for one-time purchases only (not subscriptions), and I wasn't planning on saving payment methods.
If I can create a customer with just an email address, that might work.
As for retrieving transaction/payment details, what is the key that I should save in my database? I have a feeling I shouldn't store the client-secret, so wondering if the transactions have an ID that I can retrieve?

you can save the id which would look like pi_xyz : https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-id
i think i would suggest you create a customer, you can choose not to attach the payment method to the customer

I did, but I wanted more customization for this particular project.

aaah, alright then! just wanted to make sure you weren't missing out on an easier integration option if it fits your use case
