hmm, depends overall what the goal is, can you elaborate?

it looks like there's no way to get the payment_method upfront
there is, see
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred and https://stripe.com/docs/payments/build-a-two-step-confirmation

cool, going to try this, I think I was "misled" by "two-step" when first looking into this, thank you!

#

overall what is the use case for using multiple PaymentIntents?

#

it's usually a bad idea to try to so something like charge the same card multiple times at the same moment since it might increase the chances of the bank declining the paymemnts, not sure if that's what you're aiming for.

I understand, well the use case is we need to collect a payment and then a tip for the platform in the same checkout flow

yeah best to figure out the amount before the payment happnes and then create the PaymentIntent with the final total amount I think. The deferred flow will help you a lot.

how can I send two different amounts to two different accounts with only one payment intent?
