Question: how do I get the user to complete a 3d secure check for this payment intent, I was expecting to invite the user back into my application, and to use the client sdk to do it, but I'm not able to find how in the documentation.
you email them and bring them back to your site/app and then your site/app uses our frontend SDKs to confirm the PaymentIntent again.
there's no expectation that there is a URL or anything in particular in the use_stripe_sdk hash, you are not supposed to look at it as it's undocumented. The specific section of the doc you quoted that talks about redirect_to_url is a specific type of integration where you handle the redirect yourself, so it's not directly relevant here.
the guide you want is https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse-cards-only?platform=web#web-create-payment-intent-off-session which describes the practises for creating the payment off-session and then that you need to contact the customer and re-confirm on the client side to complete payment if 3DS is needed there
@jovial charm lmk if that helps

Thank you that's answered things nicely! So to confirm, I'll get the user back into the app, then get them to confirm the card payment using the client_secret. That's what I was missing.
imho, the hint..
which takes you to this:
could indicate that too 🙂
thank you for the help, I'll go and try what you've suggested
