When you say "virtual cards" what do you mean? Are there card numbers that can be entered into a UI?
sturdy frost
yes these are cards that are only issued for a specific use and don't have a physical card. There are typically one or a few uses with very limited life then they expire. They don't have a customer name. They are issued by all major credit card providers and mainly used between businesses like between hotels and online travel agents to pass payments for reservations

But they do have numbers, expiry, and cvv?
sturdy frost
yes they do

And is this something you would be handling through a UI or would this be entirely on the back-end?
sturdy frost
ideally entirely through API on the back end

Okay, we have some protections in place to prevent people from passing raw card numbers directly to our servers (our JavaScript library does client-side tokenization) so if you want to pass back the raw details you will need to contact Support to see if we can enable that feature for your use case. https://support.stripe.com/contact
If that is approved you could
- create a Payment Method, providing the card details in the
cardparameter: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/create#create_payment_method-card - Charge the saved payment method by specifying the
payment_methodwhen creating the Payment Intent: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-payment_method. You would also passconfirm="True"to skip a second API call for the confirmation.
