@pastel raptor there isn't really a good way to handle something like this. We usually highly discourage having multiple separate and sequential PaymentIntents since banks tend to block quick payments in succession.
We usually recommend accepting one payment for the whole amount

Thanks for the quick response. We want the flexibility to allow a customer to modify/cancel one product. The payment interval of each product maybe different. What is your suggested solution?
sage mango
Still the first payment you could group them all together and/or have a unified Invoice. That is my suggestion and the best way to do this
pastel raptor
Do you have any sample code or which API to call for grouping?

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...
Are you using Stripe Subscriptions or are you creating Payment Intents directly?
pastel raptor
We are using C# SubscriptionService to create subscriptions
After calling Create() we get subscription.LatestInvoice.PaymentIntent and return to frontend
gritty condor
Ah, okay, if you're using Stripe Subscriptions this isn't really possible with multiple Products that have different intervals, since a Stripe Subscription has to have Products that all have the same interval.
The only workaround I can think of is to create a single Payment Intent up front for the entire total, then when that's paid add it to the Customer's balance, then create the Subscriptions. That might not be the best approach, but it might be worth exploring in test mode: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/customer/balance
pastel raptor
Would those newly created subscriptions in "Incomplete" states? How to confirm them?
gritty condor
No, with the credit balance you should be able to create them and have them automatically paid immediately by that balance, so they would be active.
pastel raptor
To add the payment to balance, is it a paymentIntent creation parameter or I need to call another service?
gritty condor
The balance is separate, you increment it by updating the Customer: https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/update#update_customer-balance
You can add whatever arbitrary balance you want, but for this use case you should take a payment with a Payment Intent first, then update the balance based on the amount paid. It's two separate operations.
pastel raptor
After the paymentIntent created, the frontend will not call the backend. I will not be able to know when the payment is confirmed and ready to update the balance
gritty condor
You can listen for the payment_intent.succeeded Event with a Webhook Endpoint.

Let me play with it. Thanks a lot
