POST /v1/payment_intents

Creates a PaymentIntent object.

After the PaymentIntent is created, attach a payment method and confirm to continue the payment. Learn more about the available payment flows with the Payment Intents API.

When you use confirm=true during creation, it’s equivalent to creating and confirming the PaymentIntent in the same call. You can use any parameters available in the confirm API when you supply confirm=true.

Servers

Request headers

Name Type Required Description
Content-Type String Yes The media type of the request body.

Default value: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Request body fields

Name Type Required Description
description String No

An arbitrary string attached to the object. Often useful for displaying to users.

confirm Boolean No

Set to true to attempt to confirm this PaymentIntent immediately. This parameter defaults to false. When creating and confirming a PaymentIntent at the same time, you can also provide the parameters available in the Confirm API.

confirmation_token String No

ID of the ConfirmationToken used to confirm this PaymentIntent.

If the provided ConfirmationToken contains properties that are also being provided in this request, such as payment_method, then the values in this request will take precedence.

use_stripe_sdk Boolean No

Set to true when confirming server-side and using Stripe.js, iOS, or Android client-side SDKs to handle the next actions.

application_fee_amount Integer No

The amount of the application fee (if any) that will be requested to be applied to the payment and transferred to the application owner's Stripe account. The amount of the application fee collected will be capped at the total amount captured. For more information, see the PaymentIntents use case for connected accounts.

metadata Object No

Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

mandate_data No

This hash contains details about the Mandate to create. This parameter can only be used with confirm=true.

payment_method String No

ID of the payment method (a PaymentMethod, Card, or compatible Source object) to attach to this PaymentIntent.

If you omit this parameter with confirm=true, customer.default_source attaches as this PaymentIntent's payment instrument to improve migration for users of the Charges API. We recommend that you explicitly provide the payment_method moving forward. If the payment method is attached to a Customer, you must also provide the ID of that Customer as the customer parameter of this PaymentIntent.

currency String Yes

Three-letter ISO currency code, in lowercase. Must be a supported currency.

error_on_requires_action Boolean No

Set to true to fail the payment attempt if the PaymentIntent transitions into requires_action. Use this parameter for simpler integrations that don't handle customer actions, such as saving cards without authentication. This parameter can only be used with confirm=true.

on_behalf_of String No

The Stripe account ID that these funds are intended for. Learn more about the use case for connected accounts.

setup_future_usage String No

Indicates that you intend to make future payments with this PaymentIntent's payment method.

If you provide a Customer with the PaymentIntent, you can use this parameter to attach the payment method to the Customer after the PaymentIntent is confirmed and the customer completes any required actions. If you don't provide a Customer, you can still attach the payment method to a Customer after the transaction completes.

If the payment method is card_present and isn't a digital wallet, Stripe creates and attaches a generated_card payment method representing the card to the Customer instead.

When processing card payments, Stripe uses setup_future_usage to help you comply with regional legislation and network rules, such as SCA.

return_url String No

The URL to redirect your customer back to after they authenticate or cancel their payment on the payment method's app or site. If you'd prefer to redirect to a mobile application, you can alternatively supply an application URI scheme. This parameter can only be used with confirm=true.

Provides information about a card charge. Concatenated to the account's statement descriptor prefix to form the complete statement descriptor that appears on the customer's statement.
