Hi 👋 functionality for that is not yet generally available when working with the Payment Element. It is something that is actively being worked on, and there are some betas in progress that may align with what you're looking for:

Sorry, I thought I saw a reference to the Payment Element in your message, but am not seeing it now. Are you working with the Payment Element in your integration?

Yes Payment Element (supporting Cards, Apple Pay, etc)
Ahh so technically right now we can't do it. But may be available in the future

Correct. The tricky part of that flow is making sure the frontend can still handle any customer authentication actions that are required, which is typically part of the confirmation step so it can't be completed from backend code since the customer isn't present there.
If you wanted something similar now, the flow would be to use a Setup Intent with the Payment Element to collect Payment Method details. Then you could create a Payment Intent that uses the Payment Method created by the Setup Intent. There is a possible caveat if the customer's bank requires authentication on for the Payment Intent, in which cause the confirmation would need to be attempted again from frontend code.
