# 🔴 createProviderPaymentIntent always routes to request-network regardless of provider — SHKeeper checkout broken

**Severity:** critical
**Domain:** payment
**Labels:** frontend, bug

## Description

`frontend/src/actions/payment.ts` — `getProviderIntentEndpoint()` ignores its `provider` argument and always returns `endpoints.payments.requestNetwork.intents` (`/payment/request-network/intents`).

If any UI component passes `provider='shkeeper'` to `createProviderPaymentIntent()`, the intent creation silently POSTs to the Request Network endpoint instead of `/payment/shkeeper/intents`. The SHKeeper intents endpoint is defined in `axios.ts` but is never reached by this factory.

## Current Behavior

A SHKeeper checkout call to `createProviderPaymentIntent('shkeeper', ...)` POSTs to `/payment/request-network/intents`. The RN endpoint creates a Request Network intent, not a SHKeeper intent. The payment provider is silently misrouted.

## Expected Behavior

`getProviderIntentEndpoint('shkeeper')` should return `endpoints.payments.shkeeper.intents`. The function should switch on the provider argument.

## Affected Files

- `frontend/src/actions/payment.ts` — `getProviderIntentEndpoint()` function (~line 444)
