Hi! Sorry for the delay.
That's correct, PaymentIntent doesn't support Products or Prices.

#

You could either use Checkout Sessions instead (that work with Products and Prices).

#

Or use the metadata field of the PaymentIntent to store additional information about the product purchased https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-metadata

Thanks

#

Can you tell me what the difference is between going directly through intents, and creating checkout sessions?

#

when should/shouldn't each be used?

#

We usually recommend Checkout Session, because the whole UI is hosted by Stripe (so it's much simpler to implement).

#

You should use PaymentIntent only if you need to have complete control over the UI.
