hi there, it would create a new payment method unless you use a pre-existing one and pass it with the payment_method parameter

Ok great! thanks
And what about cards? Let's say PaymentElement displays existing cards and user selects one of them. I use a setup_intent to confirm the booking. Will it create a new payment method or just uses the existing one?

if you've set up the payment method for future usage and the user selects that payment method from the Payment Element, it'll use the existing one

OK great. And for paypal, even if I set previously a paypal payment method for future usage, if I click on the paypal option for a new booking, it will create a new payment method right?

this is all determined by whether you're setting the payment_method parameter when you're creating the Payment Intent / Setup Intent, I'd recommend referring to the following guide for how to re-use Paypal payment methods https://docs.stripe.com/payments/paypal/set-up-future-payments?web-or-mobile=web&payment-ui=direct-api#web-create-on-session-payment-intent
