How do I add payment details in Setup intent Method - Stripe Python

Question

Hola I would like to Add payment details in SetupIntent.create Method.

I would do that with API Using something like this :

import requests

url = "https://api.stripe.com/v1/setup_intents"
params = {
    "key": "sk_live_xxxxx",
    "payment_method_data[type]": "card",
    "confirm": True,
    "customer": "cu_xxxx",
    "payment_method_data[card][number]": "cc number",
    "payment_method_data[card][exp_month]": "exp_mnth",
    "payment_method_data[card][exp_year]": "exp_year",
    "payment_method_data[card][cvc]": "xxx"
}
response = requests.post(url, params=params).text
print(response)

But How do this with Python Stripe Lib?

I tried this Code :

import stripe

stripe.api_key = "sk_live_xxxxx"

r = stripe.PaymentIntent.create(
                              payment_method_types=["card"],
                              customer="cu_xxx",
                              confirm=True
    )

print(r)

But, How will I add payment details in it?

I checked the the docs & it's examples but it only has examples adding payment method types, not payment details like cc number, cvc, expiry month & year.

I want to add customer & attach payment method & charge him. Can anyone help me?

Thank you!

When working with a SetupIntent you're saving customer payment credentials to charge later date, generally off-session. A PaymentMethod object ID is required when creating (or confirming) a SetupIntent.

It is recommended that you capture customer payment details in your front-end application with Stripe.js, and pass the generated PaymentMethod object ID (pm_xxx) when creating (or confirming) the SetupIntent. Stripe.js can then handle any required actions on the generated PaymentMethod, such as 3DS authentication.

There's a full SetupIntent integration example here, which uses the Python client library with Stripe.js
