Stripe Token and Charge Api vs Stripe paymentIntent api

Question

I am new to stripe and going to use stripe token/charge api but the stripe document says the paymentIntent api is the new way to go. Can I use anyone of this or PaymentIntent is the best to use.

I am building a website for business and needed stripe for accepting payments. It has shopping cart. It's pretty basic.

Could anyone help which one should I go with.

If you are starting out fresh and don't have anything built yet, use the PaymentIntents API. The PaymentIntents API is the newer API that has features that the Charge API doesn't. For instance, PaymentIntents are fully SCA ready. The Charge API will continue to function, but Stripe is heavily investing in PaymentIntents as the integration path going forward.
