this happens when i try to add payment method to a customer

#

This isn't really a typical flow, as most payments integrations don't require direct access to a customer's payment details in order to type them in to the Dashboard

#

It's not possible to bypass the phone number requirement. I recommend contacting our support team if you have a use case for adding payment methods directly via the Dashboard. You can reach them at: https://support.stripe.com/contact/

can i add it via the api ?

#

Can you share more details on what you're trying to do exactly? Typical Stripe integrations will use Checkout or Elements to collect payment details from customers directly. Using Checkout or Elements means that Stripe will take care of tokenizing card details

well we would like to add one of our cards to some internal customer for thier subscriptions without charging the customer

#

i was thinking maybe we could add payment method via api and just attach it to the customer id

#

What do you mean by "one of our cards"?

topaz star Jul 11, 2023, 9:58 PM

company card

You could but that's not a recommended flow. If a payment method needs to be set up for future off-session charges, we recommend using SetupIntents and collecting the payment details from the customer client side

#

Hm, is the goal here to give the customer some credit instead?

topaz star Jul 11, 2023, 10:08 PM

#

yeah give them credit to make sure subsctription doesnt fail

#

Just to be clear, does that mean that adding the company card as one of their PaymentMethods was essentially going to be a workaround to giving them credit?

#

yeah we wanted not charge internal customer to interacting with the club and didnt want to make our own backend solution. so we thought we would add the company card to these customers

Hm, you could add a credit balance to a customer instead: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance
I recommend testing this out to see if this could solve your use case
