What do you mean by "set up the payment intent"? If you're using Payment Element and Address Element for Subscriptions, you'd usually follow this flow: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements

Build a subscriptions integration

Create and manage subscriptions to accept recurring payments.

Maybe I've been a little confused. I'm using React and my understanding that an intent had to be created for a "client_secret" to supply to the Elements wrapper for it to work. With the way I have things setup, my user won't be created as a customer or subscriber until the submit button at checkout has been hit. I currently have a useEffect() hook creating a payment intent when the page is loaded for payment or billing change.

I think what ive done is a mixture of what you linked and this resourse: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?type=subscription

Collect payment details before creating an Intent

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

Ah, gotcha. I think the best workflow here is to use the Deferred Intents flow, which renders the Payment Element before you create a Payment Intent: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred

Collect payment details before creating an Intent

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