# Payment Intents
## Create Payment Intent
A payment intent is designed to handle a complex payment process. To compare payment intents with tokens, tokens have a straight forward credit card payment process where it does not check if 3DS is required to fulfill a payment while payment intent is designed to handle such process.
### Payload
Refer to [Paymongo documentation](https://developers.paymongo.com/reference/the-payment-intent-object) for payload guidelines.
### Sample
```php
use Luigel\Paymongo\Facades\Paymongo;
$paymentIntent = Paymongo::paymentIntent()->create([
'amount' => 100,
'payment_method_allowed' => [
'card'
],
'payment_method_options' => [
'card' => [
'request_three_d_secure' => 'automatic'
]
],
'description' => 'This is a test payment intent',
'statement_descriptor' => 'LUIGEL STORE',
'currency' => "PHP",
]);
```
## Cancel Payment Intent
Cancels the payment intent.
### Sample
```php
use Luigel\Paymongo\Facades\Paymongo;
$paymentIntent = Paymongo::paymentIntent()->find('pi_hsJNpsRFU1LxgVbxW4YJHRs6');
$cancelledPaymentIntent = $paymentIntent->cancel();
```
## Attach Payment Intent
Attach the payment intent.
### Sample
1. Simple attaching of payment method in payment intent.
```php
use Luigel\Paymongo\Facades\Paymongo;
$paymentIntent = Paymongo::paymentIntent()->find('pi_hsJNpsRFU1LxgVbxW4YJHRs6');
// Attached the payment method to the payment intent
$successfulPayment = $paymentIntent->attach('pm_wr98R2gwWroVxfkcNVZBuXg2');
```
2. Attaching paymaya payment method in payment intent.
```php
$paymentIntent = Paymongo::paymentIntent()
->create([
'amount' => 100,
'payment_method_allowed' => [
'paymaya', 'card' // <--- Make sure to add paymaya here.
],
'payment_method_options' => [
'card' => [
'request_three_d_secure' => 'automatic',
],
],
'description' => 'This is a test payment intent',
'statement_descriptor' => 'LUIGEL STORE',
'currency' => 'PHP',
]);
$paymentMethod = Paymongo::paymentMethod()
->create([
'type' => 'paymaya', // <--- and payment method type should be paymaya
'billing' => [
'address' => [
'line1' => 'Somewhere there',
'city' => 'Cebu City',
'state' => 'Cebu',
'country' => 'PH',
'postal_code' => '6000',
],
'name' => 'Rigel Kent Carbonel',
'email' => 'rigel20.kent@gmail.com',
'phone' => '0935454875545',
],
]);
$attachedPaymentIntent = $paymentIntent->attach($paymentMethod->id, 'http://example.com/success'); // <--- And the second parameter should be the return_url.
```
## Get Payment Intent
You can retrieve a Payment Intent by providing a payment intent ID. The prefix for the id is `pi_` followed by a unique hash representing the payment. Just pass the payment id to `find($paymentIntentId)` method.
### Sample
```php
use Luigel\Paymongo\Facades\Paymongo;
$paymentIntent = Paymongo::paymentIntent()->find('pi_hsJNpsRFU1LxgVbxW4YJHRs6');
```
