It seems like this is designed for atomic purchases, could it be extended for subscriptions?

Yeah I read that copy too, did you read the spec?

I believe the Shared Payment Token is interchangeable with a payment method id that you attach to a customer object, but that link has very sparse information about how things actually work end to end and what objects mean what.

Hey, I'm one of the developers at Tempo. We're working on an extension type for subscriptions to propose being added to the spec as well! We're starting with the simple types, but subscriptions are a natural extension. The subscription intent will work similarly to a one-time charge—the server returns a 402 with intent="subscription", and the client signs a recurring authorization.

Cool, would be nice to get specifics on how payments are processed, failures, and cancellations re: the recurring model.
