# Payment Intent

The Payment Intent page of the Inqud Recurring Project allows you to monitor the intent to process a payment. A payment intent represents the intention to collect a payment from the user and includes details about the transaction that is about to take place.

### **What is a Payment Intent?**

A payment intent is created by the corresponding invoice. It outlines the specifics of the payment, such as the amount and currency, which are transformed into the authorized cryptocurrency for the transaction. Invoices can have multiple payment intents due to retries in case of inability to charge user.

{% hint style="info" %}
Payment intents are created automatically by corresponding invoices.
