Hi! Let me help you with this.

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 1:40 PM

#

I am using nodejs for the server side and react js for the front side
For now i can start a payment intent on server but when i want to confirm on the front-end i got this error

#

Right know this is the flow i try
Start to load stripe platform instance on front end
Use the card element for generate au token, send a payment request to my api
On the api i create the customer with the token if is not exist and create a paymentIntent on the stripe connected account i whant
with the customer and the payment method,
send back to the front end the client secret

#

then when i try. to use stripe.confirmCardPayment(client_secret) i got the error above

#

I can share some part of the code if it's can help you

#

It looks like you are confirming the payment on a different account. PaymentIntents and Customers can only live on one account, be it a Platform or a Connected account.
Are you trying to do a Direct or Destination payment?

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 1:49 PM

#

i trying to do a direct payment

#

Yes it is why i think, a make a payment intent for a connected account but on my front end is platforme instance

#

but i have to share my customer between several stripe connect account

zinc crow Dec 23, 2022, 1:50 PM

#

You need to use Stripe-Account header on the frontend as well

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 1:51 PM

#

Yes but when i use stipeAccount header on the frontend when i try to create the customer with the token, i got an error who tell me the payment method does not exist

#

So should i use 2 stripe instance ? one for creating and register the card on platform customer ? then duplicate to connect account, create the paymentIntent and use the 2nd stripe insntance for confirm it ?

zinc crow Dec 23, 2022, 1:55 PM

#

What do you mean by "stripe instance"?

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 1:56 PM

#

stripe(stripeCredentials.api_key, {
stripeAccount: stripeCredentials.stripeAccount,
});

#

stripe(stripeCredentials.api_key,);

#

on server side

#

const res = await loadStripe(STRIPE_KEY);

#

on front side

zinc crow Dec 23, 2022, 1:57 PM

#

You only need to use one account. The Platform account can control the Connected accounts

#

So you also need to use stripeAccount header on the backend when you create the PaymentIntent

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 1:58 PM

#

Yes i can already create the paymentIntent on the stripe connect

#

with this

#

await Stripe.paymentIntents.create(data, {
accountId: XXXXX
}),

zinc crow Dec 23, 2022, 1:59 PM

#

Are you sure then you use the same Connected account ID on the backend and frontend? acct_xxx

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 1:59 PM

#

when i do this await stripe.confirmCardPayment(response?.data?.paymentResponse.message.client_secret);

#

i got some error 'payment intent not found'

#

i can send account information on this request ?

zinc crow Dec 23, 2022, 2:00 PM

#

Please send the PaymentIntent ID pi_xxx

Hello 👋
Stepping in as vanya needs to step away soon

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:02 PM

#

Hello

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:03 PM

#

Seems like you're creating direct charges yes?

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:03 PM

#

yes !

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:06 PM

#

Gotcha so in that case, Your server creates a PaymentIntent directly on the connected account using Platform's secret key and Stripe-Account header.
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication#stripe-account-header

In your client-side code, you seem to be initialising Stripe.js with Platform account's publishable key. What you need is what you shared above, Initialise Stripe.js with a Stripe-Account header as well (pointing to the connected account ID that owns the PaymentIntent) as shown in our docs here
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication#adding-the-connected-account-id-to-a-client-side-application

const stripePromise = loadStripe('{{PLATFORM_PUBLISHABLE_KEY}}', {
  stripeAccount: '{{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
});

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:07 PM

#

No i can not do this

#

because when a try it and whant to create customer

#

i got an error 'the token doesn't exist'

#

because i register the customer on platform accbnt

#

then i clone it into connected account before start initialize payment

#

i need this because i have to share customer accorss several stripe connect account

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:09 PM

#

I understand, but if you're cloning the customer already (before creating the PaymentIntent) then you shouldn't get the token doesn't exist error. You might be doing something wrong in the flow.

Are you referring to this guide here?
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cloning-customers-across-accounts

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:10 PM

#

yes

#

but i can not cloning the customer if i use the stripe connect acocunt

#

because when i want to get the token

#

i got an error

#

'customer should have payment method'

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:11 PM

#

So your customer doesn't have a stored payment method on the platform account?

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:11 PM

#

No if i use connected_account instance

#

i can only with platforme instance

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:11 PM

#

Hold on, let's take a step back

#

the guide you're using assumes that you have a payment method stored for the customer on the platform account.

#

It allows you to re-use the customer

#

across different connected accounts along with their payment methods

#

So first you'd want to attach a payment method on the customer on your platform account and then try and clone them. Otherwise, let's say you got the flow working here but even then your payment method would only be stored on the connected account & won't be sharable with the platform (as well as other connected accounts)

#

does that make sense?

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:16 PM

#

actualy i can created customer on attach payment method in the same flow of strating payementItent

#

my customer i created on platforme with is paymentMethod

#

i can get the token on clone in accounnt

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:16 PM

#

So here's what your flow would look like

1/ Create a customer on your platform account
2/ Collect a PaymentMethod and attach it to the customer (on the platform account)
3/ Create a customer on your connected account (cloned customer)
4/ Clone the Payment Method across
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:17 PM

#

and i can start paymentIntent froms erver

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:17 PM

#

The guide you're following currently is for when your platform uses our old Sources API
Use the link above for instructions related to PaymentMethods API

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:17 PM

#

the only thing who make trouble is when i whant to confirm payment

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:18 PM

#

You can't confirm a PaymentIntent owned by a connected account just by using Platform's publishable key.

#

The code needs to know which account owns the PaymentIntent

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:19 PM

#

We can not juste add the stripeAccountId on the confirmCardPayment ?

#

because i need platforme account for create customer and payment method, if i use connect instance, i could not retrieve the payement method, so i can not create customer and share it

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

no that's not how it works. Stripe.js when initialised takes the Stripe-Account parameter.
If you build two instances of Stripe, you'll see unexpected behaivors with payments.

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

when i initialised stripe on the server side, i don't need to give an stripe account id

#

i can add it when i make the paymentIntent

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:21 PM

#

Yes server-side and client-side libraries are different and function differently.

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:21 PM

#

I don't understand, how can i create customer on platform if i using connected account on front end...

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

Customer creation API requires your secret-key which should only be used by your server-side code

#

So your server will create a customer

#

not your client-side code

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

yes expect the paymentMethod created is on the connected account, not platforme

#

so i can not create my customer

#

because i got this errror 'payment method not found'

#

as i am on the platforme account on the backend

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:23 PM

#

You said your customer on the platform account has a PaymentMethod already

strange rose Dec 23, 2022, 2:23 PM

#

and connected on front ent

#

not i created all when the customer try to paid and click on 'save my card'

#

so before the first paiement, customer and payment method not exist if i don't create it

#

if i do this : const { error, token } = await stripe.createToken(cardElement);
with connected instance and send it on back end

#

when i do this const stripeCustomer = await Stripe.customers.create({
description: Client ${customer_id},
email: customerResponse[0].email,
name: ${customerResponse[0].firstname} ${customerResponse[0].lastname},
source: token.id
});

#

i got an error

#

because the payment method is on the connect account not on platform..

wispy niche Dec 23, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

I'm sorry I don't understand what flow you want to build here.
In order to share the PaymentMethod information across connected accounts, the details need to exist on the Platform already.

You can't create this information on the connected account and send it upwards to the platform account.

If you want to "clone" the customer and re-use payment methods then you need to change your flow to first create PaymentMethods on the platform account and then clone it across.

You can use SetupIntents API to store customer's payment method information on Platform account
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

and then clone it across
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods

We don't support saving a card on the Platform account while paying a charge created by connected account
