Hi @azure wraith! It's perfectly okay to create multiple PaymentIntent, that won't create any issues.
If you want you could cancel the old payment intent, but you don't have to https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/cancel

Oh great that’s relieving to hear 🙂 I was just unsure since obviously this can clog up the dashboard easily with payment intents all over the place. But that’s just a minor inconvenience I guess.

#

I see the stripe documentation recommends to update intents as you say but I just feel this introduces some minor complexity/work. So I will just leave it as it is currently. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated

I have another question should I ask here or open a new ticket ?

You can ask it here 🙂

Im just wondering what is statement_descriptor and statement_descriptor_suffix for payment intents? I tried the documentation but couldn’t quite understand if this is what I need.

Basically I want my application to control what is says on the customers bank statement. Like in the attached image of my statement it says apple bill.

#

To achieve this what api value should I be sending?

I recommend setting the Statement descriptor and shortened descriptor in the dashboard here https://dashboard.stripe.com/account
Then on the PaymentIntent only set the statement_descriptor_suffix. So in the bank statements you will see: shortened descriptor + statement_descriptor_suffix

Oh ok thanks for explaining

#

Is the a max length I can set the descriptor suffix?

#

Because it will be added to the shortened description and may cut off when combined together

#

The documentation says:

Maximum 22 characters for the concatenated descriptor.

Ok thanks, i will let those in charge know because I don’t have control over the admin but just the code. 👍👍

#

Thanks for the assistance

If you don't want to change the account settings, then you can directly set the statement_descriptor in the PaymentIntent.
