Good question, that can depend on a couple of factors. Can you tell a bit more about what you want these payments to look like? Is the user inputting their PM data for a specific payment that will happen in the future, or is it moreso saving you card info for a payment you don't yet know the details of?

Yeah, I can be a little more specific. We wish to:
- collect their card information and verify that it is a legitimate card through stripe. They are aware of the amount they will be charged here.
- After review of some questions they answered during the order process, we will approve or deny the request. If approved, we want to charge their card then and there.
I don't know if this will overcomplicate my current question, but we are doing both one-time purchases and subscriptions this way where it is approved and charged at a delay.

Gotcha, if the review takes less than seven days, you can use a PaymentIntent to place a hold on the funds https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method
But if it will take longer or you don't even want to hold the funds initially, a SetupIntent would be the way to go
And PaymentMethods being saved either way will be fine to use for both one off and recurring payments later

Okay, that sounds great! I'll use the SetupIntent API to continue my development. Thank you!
