Im working on marketplace where customers can shop across multiple shops, these shops are onboarded with stripe standard connect.

the issue here is since I want to use my customers to shop with all the customers, I wanna save the customers to the primary account (our stripe account, not connect account). the issue comes when I want to make a direct payment to a connect account. it throws back with an error saying the customer (with the key) doesnt exist.

I asked this question previous few weeks back I was told to use the cloning feature https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods .

This I can use if the payment I already have a payment_method build. I can create a card element and make a backend call to our server and save the card payment method. but Im not sure if thats correct because then we have customers credit card informations moving though our servers. Im not sure if thats a good idea.

how can I proceed with this ?

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...

#

Not sure I understand what you mean by, "Im not sure if thats correct because then we have customers credit card informations moving though our servers". Can you provide more details?

yes if we are grabbing raw credit card information from the frontend and passing to our backend to create a payment method, that would be wrong right ?

for one thing its a security risk for us and the customer. I feel like Im missing a way how we can add a card to a customer without passing it into our backend

Yeah, using raw credit card information is discouraged. You should be using things like Stripe Elements or Checkout to collect payment information. That way the raw card details only go through Stripe, and you get an opaque Payment Method to use.
