Hey there

You can cancel a PaymentIntent if you don't want to use it: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/cancel

If these incomplete PaymentIntents annoy you then you could also look into our deferred intent flow: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred

But overall having incomplete PaymentIntents isn't really a big deal

[worn galleon]

yeah but even the cancelled ones show up on the dash

just confusing the people who use it

is this normal to have then?

[ripe charm]

Yeah there isn't really a way around that. You can filter the Dashboard to exclude those. If truly an issue for you then you want to switch to the deferred intent flow

Yes it is normal

[worn galleon]

the deferred might be a better solution

its mainly because i have to create an intent before showing it

and the implementation i had before was not using apple pay do i didnt need to create one untill i actaully wanted to charge the customer

[ripe charm]

Yeah the default integration with Payment Element necessitates a PaymentIntent for it to render

This is expected

So yeah, sounds like you want to migrate to deferred intent

Shouldn't require too much change on your end

[worn galleon]

thanks for the help bismarck

yeah doesnt look like too much of a change
