Hi, you do not need to create a new PaymentIntent. You can retrieve the PaymentIntent when your customer comes back online to pay. You'd retrieve the client_secret from that already created PaymentIntent and the confirm the payment after collecting the payment method details.

Should I store the secret in the metadata? I am unclear how Stripe will know what intent I want to pay for.
vocal hazel
No, you can retrieve the PaymentIntent and the get the client_secret . We do not recommend storing that in the metadata
You can track that on your end, that is going to come from your integration
By way of log in etc, you know when your customer is back. You then make a GET call to attain the PaymentIntent and get the client_secret

So we have packages on the app. Lets say the customer orders the same package twice but pays for neither. How would I be able to select item one to pay for? I do have unique values such as job id in the metadata if that helps.

You'd track that on your end and use the metadata you're already passing to identify
