## Retrieve a PaymentIntent

Retrieve a [PaymentIntent](/api/payment_intents.md) using its [client secret](/api/payment_intents/object.md#payment_intent_object-client_secret).

This method returns a `Promise` which resolves with a `result` object.
This object has either:

* `result.paymentIntent`: a [PaymentIntent](/api/payment_intents) was retrieved successfully.
* `result.error`: an error.
  Refer to the [API reference](/api/errors) for all possible errors.

**Syntax:** `stripe.retrievePaymentIntent(...)`

- `clientSecret` (string) **required**
  The [client secret](/api/payment_intents/object.md#payment_intent_object-client_secret) of the [PaymentIntent](/api/payment_intents.md) to retrieve.

### Retrieve a PaymentIntent

```js
stripe
  .retrievePaymentIntent('{PAYMENT_INTENT_CLIENT_SECRET}')
  .then(function(result) {
    // Handle result.error or result.paymentIntent
  });
```

```es_next
const {paymentIntent, error} = await stripe.retrievePaymentIntent(
  '{PAYMENT_INTENT_CLIENT_SECRET}',
);

// Handle error or paymentIntent
```
