Why is the client secret invalid?

#

We also have this newer flow that allows you to accept a payment without creating an intent up-front (and hence a client secret): https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?client=react

Build an integration where you can render the Payment Element prior to creating a PaymentIntent or SetupIntent.

Because no intent is created. Why would you create an intent at the root of the app?

#

You don't need to initialize elements at the root of the app though

#

We just recommend calling loadStripe at the root

Ahh okay, that was what I was confused about. From the example I was under the impression that Elements needed to be initialized from the root
