Hello there
If you want to render Payment Element first then you can use the deferred intent flow: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred

Hi there. Sorry for the general nature of the question but I'm a bit confused.
solar trench
No worries
It is a common question
It used to be required to create a PaymentIntent first
But now we support the deferred-intent flow above which is likely what you want

The documentation looks like it's necessary to pass a currency amount rather than a subscription price ID.

That's correct -- that is so the correct Payment Method Types are shown to the customer
idle kraken
So we'd pass a default currency amount in order for the payment element to mount but do I need to change that amount if the customer chooses a different option?
solar trench
You would want to update the amount using elements.update() on the frontend, yes. This ensures that things like wallets (Google Pay and Apple Pay) would show the correct amount.
https://stripe.com/docs/js/elements_object/update is the method I'm talking about

OK great, thank you.
Thank you @solar trench , this is helpful. If I have additional questions should I come back to this thread or create a new one?
