Hi there 👋 just making sure we're talking about the same thing first. You're referring to creating an External Account for one of your Connected Accounts?

[turbid holly]

yeah

[south peak]

Gotcha, so you want to use createToken:
https://docs.stripe.com/js/tokens/create_token?type=cardElement
which doesn't accept a Payment Element instance as an input, instead you'll want to use a Card Element. I believe you're able to create that without first getting a client secret.

[turbid holly]

yes

[south peak]

Sorry, that wasn't a question, I was suggesting you use the Card Element instead of the Payment Element

[turbid holly]

ok it seems card element is deprecated

[south peak]

We no longer recommend it for payments, you can still use it for this.

[turbid holly]

ok i understand, no docs on how to implement it on html

[south peak]

It's pretty similar, what part are you at currently? You'll need to initialize your elements instance, then you can create and mount the Card Element instance.

[turbid holly]

yes, so i removed the data secret from the attribute of the form tag and from the result i will return a url with the token

final question does the result.token return in real time

[south peak]

The return behavior is described in the API ref, pasted below for your convenience:

Returns
stripe.createToken returns a Promise which resolves with a result object. This object has either:

result.token: a Token was created successfully.
result.error: there was an error. This includes client-side validation errors. Refer to the API reference for all possible errors.

ok thank you
