For what use case exactly ?

[raven mist]

To payout a connect customer

[proud turret]

The API for creating a card/bank external account doesn't support using PaymentMethods tokens:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_cards/create
https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_bank_accounts/create

[raven mist]

Ok so I don't realy undestand how to proceed? Because source object are deprecated?

[proud turret]

Can you please describe your flow from the beginning ?

[raven mist]

Before I use to work with source token like this to save bank account account or card (the token is from front-end) :

    s_card = stripe.Customer.create_source(
        profile.token,
        source=token
        )

[proud turret]

First, could you please describe what you want to achieve exactly ? and why you want to use External Account. Here you are referring to Customer code, while at the begingin you were saying that you want to payout a Connect Account.

Stripe Customer and Account are two different objects.

[raven mist]

I need to achieve payout for customer of an connect account

I don't understand how can I had external account without using deprecated feature...

[proud turret]

I need to achieve payout for customer of an connect account
No you can't payout to a customer. You can payout only to a Connect Account.

[raven mist]

I'am only speaking from an Connect Account. Connect Account can have customers, theses customers can save paiement information into this Connect Account and Connect Account owner can credit those account using external account.

[proud turret]

No you can't send money to end customers.

[raven mist]

stripe.Payout.create(
        amount=amount,
        currency="eur",
        destination=s_bank_account_id,
        stripe_account=settings.STRIPE_ACCOUNT_TOKEN
        )

[proud turret]

destination must be a bank account or a card for the Connect Account and not the end customer

You can't send money to end customers.

[raven mist]

Why?

[proud turret]

That's not supported in Stripe.

You need to create a Connect Account that represents that End customer. that's the only way to send money to someone (person or company)

[raven mist]

But how the end user can get his money?

Without using source

[proud turret]

what is the business need ? is it refunds or compensation ?

[raven mist]

Need to buy from the seller by sending money and sell to the end customer.

[proud turret]

And why you need to send money to the end customer ? you need to accept payment from the end customer then ?

[raven mist]

Yes I have to accept paiement to the end customer.

And I need send money to the end user because the end user could be a seller

[proud turret]

in that case you need to create two Stripe object for the seller: Customer Object and Connect Account

[proud turret]

you accept payment from the seller if he's an end user, and you use the Stripe Customer object. If you want to payout the seller you need to use the Connect Account object for that

[raven mist]

Yes it’s why I’am asking about external account how to save bank account into Stripe Connect

Because now source are depracated

[scarlet trail]

you'd use Tokens still, for external accounts

i.e. you use https://stripe.com/docs/js/tokens/create_token?type=cardElement on the frontend form

and then use https://stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_cards/create on the backend to attach the token to the connected account
