Payment intents

A payment_intent is created to help you navigate the 3DS flow of collecting payment from your customer. It is necessary only for implementing 3DS flow using Chargebee.js.

Auto-expiry

All payment_intents with status as inited, in_progress or authorized become expired after an hour automatically.
