Hello! Setup Intents and Payment Intents are low-level objects and do not have line items. See here for more details: https://youtu.be/CUAY6IQcVQM

Thanks @proper pelican. I understand this. Is there a way to create a checkout session off session then and fufill it off session with a setup intent then?
proper pelican
No, that's not how Checkout Sessions or Setup Intents work. Checkout Sessions are for when your Customer is paying on-session. Setup Intents are only used to set up a payment method for future use, they're not used to actually pay anything or move money.
Can you tell me more about what you're trying to build so I can provide some recommendations?
autumn harbor
People place bids. If they win the bid, I want to bill their card.
But I want the bill to include in it which items they bought/bid on etc. It makes me think invoices could work, but I am relatively new to stripe.
proper pelican
It sounds like you want Invoices, yeah: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing
Well, Setup Intents + Invoicing.
The first step would be to set up their payment method for future use using this guide: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse
Then, later, you would create an Invoice for them when it's time to actually pay.
You also have the option of waiting to collect payment details with the Invoice itself, if you want to have them pay it at that time.
autumn harbor
Yeah. Ideally, when they place all their bids I would love them to authorize the purchase. Then in 8-12 weeks IF they win it, I charge them. This made me think invoicing could work, but I wanted to make sure I could do it all off session with card info (via setup intent).
proper pelican
Yep, you can do that.
autumn harbor
Okay fantastic. Do you guys have a sample of this or not?
proper pelican
No, not for this specific scenario.
You'll need to combine things from the two guides I linked above.
autumn harbor
Perfect I will give that a try and circle back later if there are any major difficulties.
