Authenticate requests using HTTP Basic Auth by adding a bearer token to the header, e.g. Authentication: Bearer {{access_token}}. You can get the {{access_token}} from the create token request.

This payment intent is expired after 30 minutes. You need to call refresh intent request to regenerate the intent.

Once a payment intent is processed i.e. payment is done using any payment type, it can’t be used again to perform another transaction.Each payment intent can be used for only one payment type.
