👋 happy to help
basically what you can do is the following
create a PaymentIntent and let the customer pay
once they do you can create a credit note
and use that to pay the upcoming invoices
which automatically reduces the customer's credit balance
warm estuary
if there credit balance is zero then does we need to create a new payment intent or we can use same payment intent
fathom bloom
no you need to create a new one
but you can save the payment method and charge the customer off_session if they agree
warm estuary
okay
so credit balance is used to deduct and credit amount into current payment intent??
fathom bloom
no not really
that's not how it works
a PaymentIntent is just a way to charge your customer
nothing else
when you create a credit note, you increase the customer's credit balance
and then each time you invoice the customer the amount from their credit balance is used to pay the invoice
which makes the credit balance decrease
