@viral girder there isn't really a good way to "share" a PaymentMethod object across multiple separate Customers in our API. So you likely want a Customer that represents the household instead

#

If we try to create a payment and send customer[1] and paymentMethod[0] that is attached to customer[0] will it return error or proccess?

Have you simply tried in Test mode? You'd get your answer in seconds. But if [0] and [1] are different Customer ids cus_123 then it would error

#

ok, thank you.

#

Can we create a paymentMethod and not attach it to a customer so it could be used on multiple accounts?

#

So if you have say 2 parents and 2 kids, you either need to collect card details 4 times (once per Customer) or you need a "family" Customer that would group all 4

#

And no you can't do that, a PaymentMethod must be attached to one Customer to be re-usable

Yes, I had a feeling. BOOOO

#
