https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/managing-limited-inventory this guide is specific for checkout. If you are using paymentIntent + paymentElement integration. You should listen to payment_intent related events such as payment_intent.succeeded, payment_intent_failed

Thanks for replying! I thought so too, but from what I could tell; there's no way to "expire" a payment intent
copper mountain
And since PaymentIntent doesn't carrry price/product info, you might want to attach them in PaymentIntent's metadata.
No, there's no expiration for PaymentIntent.

Should I then just start my own background timer for each paymentIntent to make inventory available again (after, let's say 15mins)?

You can do it. Just curious, why don't you use checkout session instead?

I suppose I didn't want to redirect to a 3rd party page 😅 But it does seem like all the extra trouble isn't worth it at all
so I 100% agree with what you're saying 💯
copper mountain
https://docs.stripe.com/checkout/embedded/quickstart you can also embed checkout to your page

Happy to help!

so, with this approach, I'll just reserve the items in the checkout endpoint (that's what I think it's called)
and then listen to the session.expired event and make them available to others again, as per guide
copper mountain
Yes you are right
