Test your integration

While testing your Checkout integration, select Local cards and click Pay. This redirects you to a Stripe-hosted page where you have the choice to authorize or fail the payment. If you authorize the payment, the PaymentIntent switches from requires_action to succeeded. Failing the test payment makes the PaymentIntent switch from requires_action to requires_payment_method.
