What exactly do you mean by 'validate the Stripe form'? What function are you executing?

[gloomy crescent]

so I have a payment page with my form about a customer, address etc. on the same page is your stripe elements form. When customer clicks submit, first Id like to send stripe details and valiedate if payment will go thru, if yes then proccess some actions on the server, and then process a payment

You mean to check if the payment details are valid, etc?

[gloomy crescent]

yes

Then you should use a Setup Intent initially if there's no initial payment: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

Once that is successful, and the card is 'verified', you can re-use that payment method to process the follow-up payment(s): https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web#charge-saved-payment-method

[gloomy crescent]

the same process if the validation and payment is just couple seconds later?

[radiant quiver]

Yep, exactly. You shouldn't use a payment to verify a card: https://support.stripe.com/questions/check-if-a-card-is-valid-without-a-charge

The only other way to send those card details to the card networks is via a Setup Intent

Otherwise the client-side JS from the payment form is just doing basic tokenisation checks (luhn, is a future expiry date, etc)
