      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.

      void, refund, transaction inquiry by id or merchant order id, and the V2 Quick Link API for sharable payment
      links. Still actively used by merchants on the standard redirect, iframe, and headless MOTO integrations.
