# Create Setup Intent

`POST /provider/patients/{patient_id}/payment_methods/setup`

The response shape depends on the practice's payment processor (`payment_processor` in the response):
- When `rainforest`: `payment_method_config_id`, `session_key`, and `allowed_methods` are returned.
- When `stripe`: `stripe_client_secret` is returned instead.
The example below shows the `rainforest` variant.

## Path parameters

- `patient_id` string, required

## Request body

- ProviderPatientsPaymentMethodsSetupControllerCreateBody
  - `user_is_owner` boolean, required
  - `accepts_bank` boolean, required

## Response `201`

Successful response
