Add payment methods for what exactly?
stable falcon
Is this for adding payment methods for a customer for future payments, or is this for adding payment methods to pay out funds to your bank account?
stable falcon
With Express accounts, that's handled at the platform level
Destination charges are the recommended fund flow: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/destination-charges
true cedar
Wait so i can or cant?
stable falcon
So payment methods live on the platform account
You can, but you shouldn't
You should use a destination charge fund flow
stable falcon
There's ways to accept payment without code
But this discord is for helping developers
If you're not a developer you should contact Support
stable falcon
Well guess im a developer now
No that's not how this works
Either you are or aren't a developer
We help folks with developer experience in here
If you aren't a dev, you should get help through our official support channel
true cedar
So if i contact support theyll do it for me?
stable falcon
They'll help you
They won't do it for you
If you need someone to do it for you, you can hire a developer
true cedar
So i am a Developer
Just send which link shows how to do it
Im not asking for anymore help rn and also isnt this server for developers help
stable falcon
and also isnt this server for developers help
it is, but you said you guess you're a developer now
true cedar
If you need someone to do it for you, you can hire a developer

stable falcon
which means you aren't actually a dev
Here's your link though: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment
true cedar
```and also isnt this server for developers help```
it is, but you said you gues...
Yeah I’ve developed a app before so sure

Is there a video?
For this
true cedar
which means you aren't actually a dev
Haha why are you so mean you literally dont know me i just dont call myself a developer but I’ve developed multiple projects
stable falcon
Wasn't trying to be mean sorry about that
It's just we have a strict policy to only help developers
Yeah not familiar with our video series, but there likely is
They're on our youtube channel
true cedar
https://www.youtube.com/@StripeDev

stable falcon
We have a guide for that here: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/cash-app-pay if that's the only payment method you're interested in
true cedar
Ok I actually understand a bit now
true cedar
We have a guide for that here: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/cash-app-pay if ...
Also i think one last thing how does payment links work, like are they monitored
stable falcon
What do you mean by monitored?
true cedar
Like how do they work for digital products
Ok im not making sense
Like im not seeing a lot of people use it, is it hard for digital products
Like should I Just stick to stripe express
stable falcon
Express and Payment Links aren't interchangeable things. Express is an account type and Payment Link is one of many ways to accept payment. You can accept payment through a payment link and route the funds to an express account. For digital products, you'd need to use webhooks to get monitored for payment successes, so that you can fulfill the orders
true cedar
Ok i see thanks appreciated
true cedar
Express and Payment Links aren't interchangeable things. Express is an account t...
Last time to make sure before i go, to add cashapp to stripe express for customers to pay with it i need to code using this for guidance https://docs.stripe.com/payments/cash-app-pay ?
stable falcon
Well for Express you should use destination charges, which I linked above here: #1228342876203913226 message. Which means you'd use the platform's api keys and use transfer_data to transfer to the connect account
