Hey there

First, lets clarify a little bit. When you say "payment method" here, are you talking about adding an external account for payouts to that Connected Account?

[bitter prism]

we're working on "instant payout" functionality for our customers so we want them to be able to add a debit card that they can receive payouts to

so i think yes

[native wadi]

Got it, thank you that helps. So in this case you wouldn't actually use stripe.createPaymentMethod, you want stripe.createToken() here: https://stripe.com/docs/js/tokens_sources/create_token?type=cardElement

You also want to ensure to pass currency in your data object when you call that method: https://stripe.com/docs/js/tokens_sources/create_token?type=cardElement#stripe_create_token-data-currency

You then create an external account using that card token: https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_cards/create

Also, these are Custom accounts, correct?

[bitter prism]

they're "Connect" accounts

[native wadi]

Sure, but there are different types of Connect accounts -- Standard, Express, and Custom.

The reason I ask is because you would only manage this yourself as the platform if you are using Custom Accounts

[bitter prism]

Okay yes Custom accounts. We're trying to allow them to add debit card for this: "you must add a supported debit card" https://stripe.com/docs/connect/instant-payouts

and they're going to manage this through their CommentSold (my company) dashboard

[native wadi]

Yep that all makes sense then and you want to follow what I showed you above (create a Token instead of a Payment Method then create an External Account using that Card Token)

[bitter prism]

okay so we'll use that create a card method you shared thank you. What is the create payment method about?

[native wadi]

The createPaymentMethod is to create PaymentMethods for customers to pay your platform.

[bitter prism]

okay we'll ignore that then 🙂
