I believe tokens can be converted to payment method using, card[token] param

any way for sources ( I know they are depricated) ?

[upper hollow]

No you can't migrate existing src_xxx to a pm_xxx, they're backwards compatible though: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/transitioning#compatibility

You should just update your integration to create/use pm_xxx objects going forward for net new payment instruments

I was wondering, our old customers have sources attached to them, so without using payment intents API, they cant be transitioned to a more usable form like a payment method?

or is it like I can use the "source" as a payment method if it is already attached to that customer

[wet linden]

the latter. They just keep working as-is, and any API that accepts a PaymentMethod accepts a Source for backwards compatibility

[empty sentinel]

so basically I should not have any problems, just need to make my own logic to handle these

sounds good thanks!
