Can you tell me what you've tried to do what what is not working like you expect?

You can set up a card for future payments using a setup intent, yes, then create payments/subscriptions using that later.

Great. It's not that anything isn't working, I just wanted to ensure that I wouldn't head down a rabbit role into something that I can't actually do haha. Also, is there an expiry for payment setup intents?

[distant birch]

Not manually create setup intents that you control, no, though if you confirm and there are actions required (status requires_action), that can time out and revert to requires_payment_method again

[limpid locust]

Right. So if I had a subscription price of $10 and a one-time initiation fee of $20 within one invoice, I could theoretically have the user enter a credit card and create a setup intent - to which I could execute at a later time to capture?

[distant birch]

If you're paying a fee up front with a separate payment, you'd want to use a payment intent with setup_future_usage instead:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-during-payment?platform=web&ui=elements#create-the-paymentintent

Then the saved payment method from that could be used with the subscription

but you can also set up the card/payment method with a setup intent without payment, it depends on your flow.
