Hi 👋
can you share the request ID for the request that generated this error?

Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

One sec!

Dmitrii - cloning payment methods

keen quarry Nov 30, 2022, 11:51 PM

#

The weird thing - I don't see the log for this call at all

#

I tried to repeat request but got the same error in catch block:

The provided key *** does not have access to account 'the customerId of child account' (or that account does not exist). Application access may have been revoked.

fierce path Nov 30, 2022, 11:53 PM

#

OH

#

It looks like the $childAccId value is not a Stripe Account id acct_XXXXX

#

can you try logging that variable before you make the API call?

keen quarry Nov 30, 2022, 11:57 PM

#

    $payment_method = \Stripe\PaymentMethod::create([
      'customer' => "cus_MtmGEMSafp82",
      'payment_method' => $paymentMethodID,
    ], [
      'stripe_account' => "cus_MtmYu9Cpphdgek",
    ]);

fierce path Nov 30, 2022, 11:57 PM

#

That ID is not a Stripe Account

#

that won't work

#

[
      'stripe_account' => "cus_MtmYu9Cpphdgek", <- this has to be an Account ID: acct_XXXXXXX
    ]

#

Could you tell me please where can I get this id on dashboard?

fierce path Nov 30, 2022, 11:59 PM

#

It's the account ID for the connected account you are trying to clone the PM to

keen quarry Dec 1, 2022, 12:00 AM

#

Oh, should I make some additional steps for connecting the child account?

fierce path Dec 1, 2022, 12:00 AM

#

Wait..what do you mean? This whole approach depends on you cloning between a Platform Account and a Connect Account

#

Without that relationship you cannot do any of this

keen quarry Dec 1, 2022, 12:02 AM

#

I got it! Could you direct me to the page to know how can I create this connection?

fierce path Dec 1, 2022, 12:02 AM

#

Wait wait wait... back up

#

Is the individual this customer record represents someone that has a Stripe Account?

keen quarry Dec 1, 2022, 12:04 AM

#

Yes! The idea is that I create customerId for child users on my platform when they sign up. Then I want to share the payment method of a parent account(who also has a Stripe account in my dashboard) across other(child) users.

#

All users have Stripe accounts and they exist inside my dashboard. The goal is to allow a parent account to share their payment method with child users

fierce path Dec 1, 2022, 12:07 AM

#

When you say they "exist on my dashboard". They show up under the Connect tab?

keen quarry Dec 1, 2022, 12:07 AM

#

No, under customers tab

fierce path Dec 1, 2022, 12:08 AM

#

Then those aren't Stripe Accounts

#

If you h ave Connected Stripe Accounts they show up under your Connect tab

#

Those are Customer records which are an entirely different thing

keen quarry Dec 1, 2022, 12:09 AM

#

Is there a way to share the payment method between the customers under customers tab ?

fierce path Dec 1, 2022, 12:09 AM

#

No

keen quarry Dec 1, 2022, 12:10 AM

#

Could you direct me to the doc page where I can read about how to create the connection I need, please?

fierce path Dec 1, 2022, 12:13 AM

#

Here is a good place to start: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/explore-connect-guide

keen quarry Dec 1, 2022, 12:16 AM

#

Thank you so much for your help @fierce path ! It was eyes-opening to know that I miss such an important step in my implementation. Just to confirm, using connected accounts is the only way to share payment method across different users inside the app?

fierce path Dec 1, 2022, 12:17 AM

#

You still won't be able to share payment methods between Customers.

#

The doc you linked is to allow Platforms to share Payment Methods to their Connect Accounts.

#

But it won't assign them to the corresponding Customer records.

keen quarry Dec 1, 2022, 12:21 AM

#

What would you do if you needed to create a system where you have to share the same payment method across app users?

fierce path Dec 1, 2022, 12:25 AM

#

Unfortunately I don't see how that would work. They would need to all be the same Customer record in Stripe.

@fierce path I appreciate your time and help, thank you so much!
