The v1 Intentions API is Paymob's modern entry point for payment acceptance. The merchant backend creates an intention with the secret key and an array of payment_methods (integration IDs or named methods like apple_pay, tabby, tamara, stc_pay, easypaisa, jazzcash). Paymob returns a client_secret used to launch the Unified Checkout, render the Pixel component, or confirm the payment headlessly.
