Hi, let me help you with this.

Could you please share a bit more about your use case?
Will the same customer add all of the cards? Will you only charge your customers, or pay out funds to them too?

Generally you can save as many PaymentMethods as you want: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

For your use case, from what I read, it seems like you need multiple Customers, each with their preferred PaymentMethod. And for each Customer you will create a separate PaymentIntent for each transaction.

I think from the Stripe side it will actually look like charging multiple separate customers. You will only make it seem like they're all splitting the same purchase in your own app.

@graceful plinth thanks for the response.

actually, it's 1 customer will enter multiple credit cards (that belongs to them) for 1 product. I assume I can save multiple credit cards after running /api/save-card, and attaching the paymentMethodId to the customerID via stripe.paymentMethods.attach? Also I'm curious how the processing the order works. Can I program Stripe to split the charges amount the cards with different amounts for 1 product in the order?

/api/save-card
This is not a valid API method. Please follow the docs I shared.

Using SetupIntents will attach PaymentMethods to the Customer object automatically

As I suggested earlier, you would just need to create multiple PaymentIntents for the same Customer with different amounts and using different PaymentMethod IDs. It's up to you to calculate and specify the amounts.
