Cashier single charge with secure payment throws Stripe ApiErrorException

Question

I am using the newest Laravel Spark and Cashier. Currently, I am testing the secure payments which are working for subscriptions. However, when I perform a single charge (which worked for the older Spark version):

\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey(\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Config::get('services.stripe.secret'));
$invoice_item = \Stripe\InvoiceItem::create([
  'customer' => $user->stripe_id,
  'amount' => $dollars_cents_with_tax,
  'currency' => 'usd',
  'description' => $description
]);

$invoice = \Stripe\Invoice::create([
  'customer' => $user->stripe_id
]);

$charge = $invoice->pay();

However, it now throws an:

 Stripe\Exception\ApiErrorException::factory vendor/stripe/stripe-php/lib/Exception/ApiErrorException.php:38

and this message:

    Stripe\Exception\CardException
    This payment requires additional user action before it can be completed successfully. Payment can be completed using the PaymentIntent associated with the invoice. For more details see: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/overview#requires-action

Interestingly, an email is still mailed with the confirmation button:

 "Extra confirmation is needed to process your payment. Please continue to the payment page by clicking on the button below."

And this button is functional, upon clicking on it the transaction is verified and the charge is completed.

Anyone an idea to catch this API error or solving the underlying issue?
