# init(payer:currencyAmount:note:)

Initializes the request payment intent object with the specified recipient and payment information.

```
init(payer: INPerson?, currencyAmount: INCurrencyAmount?, note: String?)
```

## Parameters

`payer`

The person receiving the payment request.

`currencyAmount`

The amount of money being requested from the `payer`.

`note`

A note to include with the request. Use this parameter to convey the reason for the request.

## Return Value

An initialized intent or `nil` if the object could not be created.

## Discussion

Normally, you do not create instances of this class yourself. Instead, SiriKit creates instances when the user makes a payment request to another person. However, you can use this method during testing to create intent objects in order to validate your intent handling code paths.
