the customer (cus_QAB2RPkSoNJQYC) exists on the platform account, but you're trying to create a PaymentIntent (using the customer) on the connected account

did you intend to clone the platform's customer PaymentMethod to the connected account first? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods

[wispy orbit]

hmm no I have not tried this method before

[kindred kraken]

cloning only clones the PaymentMethod. You need to create a new Customer on the connected account if you want to reuse the cloned PaymentMethod on the connected account

I see it says this is only suppported for card and bank accounts, but I need to support wallet payments (apple/google pay)

[kindred kraken]

Apple and Google Pay are considered as card payments. You can give it a try

[wispy orbit]

ah I see

but this looks like what I'm doing, as it described here by setting the stripe account in the request params?https://docs.stripe.com/connect/ua-enable-payment-guide?ui=payment-element&architecture-style=resources#create-payment-intent

oh I see, the initial creation of the payment method is left out of the code example

thanks, I will give this a try and see

[kindred kraken]

to summarize though, for direct charges, the payment is created on the connected account. On that same note, all relevant objects need to exist on the connected account when you create the payment

[wispy orbit]

that makes sense 👍

one more question then, since I'm actually trying to do this in the paymentIntent, i.e. before I have the payment method, how should I handle this? Not set the customer upfront, but do something on the webhook?

[kindred kraken]

assuming that you want to save the PaymentMethod that you're creating to reuse, you can either :

• create the Customer on the connected account first (if required) and pass it in when creating the PaymentIntent. Or,
• create the Customer on the connected account (if required) after the payment (listen for the payment_intent.succeeded webhook) and then attach the PaymentMethod.

how would I create a customer on the connected account?
