Hi 👋 my gut reaction is that sounds unnecessarily complicated, what are you trying to accomplish by having a flow like that?

Basically what I described here: #dev-help message

I suppose the prescribed way is to just have a set up intent first, but I want to take advantage of validating payment on the total cost first before charging individual items

But authorizing for the amount you plan to charge later doesn't guarantee the funds will be available when you try to process the payments later, and (while it may not be common or likely) I think it is possible for that previous authorization to impact the availability of funds if the customer's issuer/bank doesn't clear that previous authorization quickly enough.

You have a good point.

Alright then I'll stick to using set up intent and initialising the seperate payment intents using the payment method i get from the set up intent
