Hi there!
In order to mount the Payment Element, you first need to have a PaymentIntent. And once you have the PaymentIntent, it's completely up to you to decide when exactly to load the Payment Element.
Hi @honest verge
Thanks for that, just to check the paymentintent can be created regardless of if the user eventually ends up making a payment?
Sorry if I gave you a bunch of technobabble I'm new to stripe 🤣
No worries! And yes when you create a PaymentIntent, you don't know yet if the customer will actually buy or not. And if they don't, then the PaymentIntent will stay in the requires_payment_method status and that's fine.
Ok perfect thanks so much for your help.
