@candid phoenix creating the PaymentMethod first is the right approach
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/build-a-two-step-confirmation is the best doc I'd say

Hi @kindred mist ! Thank you for the link. I did review that documentation prior to creating the thread and I saw 'Detect the selection of a saved payment method` which is great for payment methods already saved....but this is when they are entering new card details....
Are there any down sides to creating a payment method in Stripe, and not connecting it to the customer. For example, if they choose to abandon the checkout process, we'll have a payment method in Stripe that isn't connected to a customer. Any concerns here?

The doc I shared works the same whether you use a saved card or not. And no downside no. It's a common flow what you are trying to do
We do have a beta feature that "locks" the funding type in PaymentElement so you might want to contact support to ask for access: https://support.stripe.com/contact

oh, that's awesome! I will look into that. Thanks for the help! I think this request can be closed.
