Before submitting your cart, you can use the cartCreatePaymentIntent mutation. This payment intent tracks the total amount that needs to be paid. It will be updated when the user adds or removes products or when shipping methods are updated. The payment can be completed using Apple Pay, Google Pay, or the Stripe Link UI.

After creating the payment intent, the response provides the updated Cart with the associated payment intent details.

mutation CreatePaymentIntent($id: ID!) {
  cartCreatePaymentIntent(id: $id) {
    id
    paymentIntent {
      id
      clientSecret
      externalId
    }
    # Other fields of the Cart type can be queried here
  }
}
