hi! one is for a single payment and one is for setting up recurring payments, that's one way to think about it.

#

there are lots of differences though

#

PaymentIntent is for one-time payment, right?

rare edge Apr 20, 2022, 9:25 AM

#

yes

#

OH BUDDHA

#

I got confuse since the beginning

rare edge Apr 20, 2022, 9:26 AM

#

well, maybe not. why are you asking?

marsh wave Apr 20, 2022, 9:26 AM

#

I thought the PaymentIntent is use for Recurring Payment

rare edge Apr 20, 2022, 9:27 AM

#

well, in a way, kind of. Really depends what you mean

#

like, every payment is a PaymentIntent

#

a Subscription is a series of recurring payments, a Subscription creates an Invoice each month and the Invoice processes a PaymentIntent to charge the customer

rare edge like, every payment is a PaymentIntent

Yes, I saw this point in the document that lead me a bit confusing when you tell me that PaymentIntent is for one-time payment.

well to be clear, what are " CreatePaymentIntent & CreateSubscription" exactly? Like what are you referring to?

rare edge well to be clear, what are " CreatePaymentIntent & CreateSubscription" exactly? ...

Ok! Currently, I am implementing the Subscription features for my application. There are 4 products (1month, 3months, 6months, 1year)

rare edge Apr 20, 2022, 9:34 AM

#

ok!

rare edge Apr 20, 2022, 9:50 AM

#

is there anything I can clarify?

#

if you're creating subscriptions you would use the Subscription APIs. For starting the subscription you create it, then use the first invoice's PaymentIntent to complete the first payment to activate it. After that point we generate an Invoice each month that automatically will create and charge a PaymentIntent, for instance.
