Yes! They have a pay route that requires a payment method. We want to use a Payment Intent

You can convert the Quote into an Invoice, and the Invoice will generate a Payment Intent.
You would not create the Payment Intent yourself.

Thanks for your answer.
I was really hoping this wasn't the option we'd have to take. We're trying to avoid sending an invoice to the user until they have made the first payment.
We're dealing with consumers in the EU which an invoice means they owe us money once we issue it. It's starting to feel like Quotes isn't a good fit for B2C.

@fiery lantern can you say a bit more? What's the problem with doing what my colleague advised? A Quote is a contract to buy something, that;'s not what you would pay, you pay the Invoice once you accept the Quote

That might make sense in a B2B world, but for consumers it’s a problem.
Sounds like quotes aren’t worthwhile for our use case. We can save money on our Billing plan anyway

that's a pretty strange assertion without much details
Sorry I am not sure how to help without more context, I don't think the B2B versus B2C part holds. Quotes work with both cases

Consumer behavior doesn’t expect to owe money with a quote for example. Only once they have paid the amount have they committed to anything.
That would be like adding a book to my Amazon card and Amazon invoicing me simply because I churned from their checkout flow, for example.
