Hello there

#

You can't clone Customers

#

You can only clone PaymentMethods

#

The way you "clone" a Customer is to just recreate the Customer on the Connected Account using the same info.

#

Actually I tried cloning using token creation.

#

Sure same thing applies

woeful jasper Jun 12, 2023, 7:26 PM

#

But it doesn't allow me to create a customer who doesn't have a payment method attached.

Basically we have two flows - Saved Card and One time payment(without saved card.)

Issue I am facing is for One time payment

Can you provide me the request ID for the error you are seeing?

#

To clarify, you want to just create a one-time payment on the Connected Account here, correct?

#

So you don't want to involve a Customer at all, right?

#

You just want to clone the Token from your platform to your Connected Account and charge it?

#

I want to create a customer but not attach a payment method to it.

#

A payment intent with a customer and payment method. But the customer and payment method will not be attached to eachother.

#

Okay then you use the Customer create endpoint: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create

#

Hmmm that's not really how it works.

#

Actually we might not invalidate that....

#

Regardless, you want to just create a Customer directly here

#

Not using the create Token endpoint

woeful jasper Jun 12, 2023, 7:33 PM

#

okay

#

So if we use create Token endpoint, will it definitely the customer to have a payment source attached to it?

#

If I have more questions after testing it out, can I post in the same thread?

sweet marten Jun 12, 2023, 7:36 PM

#

Yes you have to attach to a Customer on your platform to clone to a Connected Account: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cloning-customers-across-accounts

#

And yep, you can post in the same thread

#

Threads do get closed after a short amount of time so if that happens just post in the main channel again
