Hello! You can use a Payment Method with a Payment Intent and not specify a Customer if the Payment Method you use isn't attached to a Customer.

Likewise, you can create a Payment Intent and specify a Customer and not specify a Payment Method.

Gotcha I see, but it IS required if the payment method does belong to a customer. Otherwise we can short circuit to just using the customer id.

What do you mean by short circuit?

If you want to use a specific Payment Method that's attached to a Customer you need to specify both the Customer ID and the Payment Method ID on the Payment Intent.

Thanks for the clarification, docs don't explicitly mention that but good error messages always help lol.
