You need to setup the Payment Method for future usage before attempting to make recurring payments with it. You use Setup Intents instead of Payment Intents for this.

I'd recommend building a prototype with this guide: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/ideal/set-up-payment?platform=web&payment-ui=elements&lang=python

Use iDEAL to set up future SEPA Direct Debit payments

Learn how to save bank details from an iDEAL payment and charge your customers later with SEPA Direct Debit.

Why do you suggest using payment intents instead of setup intent? I usually use payment intent - only when amount is involved, in other cases - we use setup intent only.

I suggested the opposite

Setup Intents for setting up a Payment Method for future payments

#

If I have a use case of setting up a payment method for future payments along with making the first payment?
For example - a subscription usecase to start a recurring transaction as well as first installment collection?

#

In that case, should we be using setup intents - to create a payment method and again a payment intent - to make an actual payment?

#

Why not use a one-off Invoice Item instead of a wholly separate charge unrelated to the Subscription?

#

We are not using Stripe's subscription API yet. So, building a custom solution

#

Ah, got it. Yeah, I mean, in that case you would still use Setup Intents, then just immediately create a payment once it's setup.

Does this rule apply only for single use payment methods like ideal, bancontact or all payment methods like SEPA, ACH as well ?
