Create a Payment Method

​

Creates a Payment Method from previously collected payment details, such as an Elements or Express Checkout confirmation token.

Payment Methods created directly from tokenized card details are single-use by default. Use the returned Payment Method with a Payment Intent confirmation. If the Payment Intent includes setup_future_usage and a customer, Paypercut can save the Payment Method for future reuse after the customer completes any required authentication.
