You're getting that error because generally we discourage passing card numbers directly in the backend. The way payment methods should generally be created is through the front-end. See our accept a payment guide for what I mean: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=elements

Accept a payment

Securely accept payments online.

but what about from a test point of view?

#

Essentially I just want to give some money to a test user for a test. What's the recommended way?

You could have a test integration up and running and use test cards: https://stripe.com/docs/testing

Test cards

Use test cards to validate your Stripe integration without moving real money. Test a variety of international scenarios, including successful and declined payments, card errors, disputes, and bank authentication. You can also test non-card payment methods.

#

Or just use Checkout in test mode + test cards
