Create a SetupIntent 

Creates a SetupIntent object.

After you create the SetupIntent, attach a payment method and confirm it to collect any required permissions to charge the payment method later.

Parameters

  • automatic_payment_methodsobject

    When you enable this parameter, this SetupIntent accepts payment methods that you enable in the Dashboard and that are compatible with its other parameters.

  • confirmboolean

    Set to true to attempt to confirm this SetupIntent immediately. This parameter defaults to false. If a card is the attached payment method, you can provide a return_url in case further authentication is necessary.

  • customerstring

    ID of the Customer this SetupIntent belongs to, if one exists.

    If present, the SetupIntent’s payment method will be attached to the Customer on successful setup. Payment methods attached to other Customers cannot be used with this SetupIntent.

  • descriptionstring

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

  • metadataobject

    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.

  • payment_methodstring

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

  • usageenum

    Indicates how the payment method is intended to be used in the future. If not provided, this value defaults to off_session.

    Possible enum values
    off_session

    Use off_session if your customer may or may not be in your checkout flow.

    on_session

    Use on_session if you intend to only reuse the payment method when the customer is in your checkout flow.

Cancel a SetupIntent 

You can cancel a SetupIntent object when it’s in one of these statuses: requires_payment_method, requires_confirmation, or requires_action.

After you cancel it, setup is abandoned and any operations on the SetupIntent fail with an error. You can’t cancel the SetupIntent for a Checkout Session. Expire the Checkout Session instead.

Parameters

  • cancellation_reasonstring

    Reason for canceling this SetupIntent. Possible values are: abandoned, requested_by_customer, or duplicate

Returns

Returns a SetupIntent object if the cancellation succeeds. Returns an error if the SetupIntent is already canceled or isn’t in a cancelable state.
