Hi 👋 can you share the ID of a request you made to try to clone a Payment Method that you can share, so I can gather more insight on what you're doing?
rugged star
Ah, I see. You need to provide the ID of the Customer object from your Platform account that you're copying the Payment Method from, rather than the ID of the Customer in your Connected Account that you want to create the copy for. That will give you a Payment Method, that you can then attach to the Customer on the Connected Account by making a request to do that.

Okay, but yesterday the support guy here told me the opposite.
"You would need to create a new Customer and use that object's ID" it was the answer from you yesterday
I'm confused now
when I say "you" is not you
rugged star
If you follow my advice does the error subside?
narrow light
lol
Okay, one sec
@rugged star if I uses this method for example:
stripe.PaymentMethod.create(
payment_method=payment_method,
customer=customer['id'],
stripe_account=stripe_account
)
they will create the customer for me there? I don't need to recreate right?
rugged star
Nope, no Customer is created by a request to create a Payment Method.
rugged star
No, you'll provide the ID of the existing Customer from your Platform account, which has to exist in order for you to copy a Payment Method from them.
narrow light
How do I use the customer id as you said, if that doesn't exist in that account.
rugged star
The flow is:
- Make the request to clone the Payment Method from your existing Customer on your Platform. Use the ID of the existing Payment Method and Customer there.
- Create a Customer on your Connected Account, if the one you want to use doesn't already exist
- Make a request to attach the newly created Payment Method, from step 1, to the Customer mentioned in step 2
Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

That's expected there. The Customer you specified exists on your Platform account, but you made the request to retrieve their Payment Methods from your Connected Account.
You would need to make that request as your Platform.
narrow light
wait, but I'm trying to make a payment in the connected account
rugged star
Okay, then you need to look at the Customer in your Connected Account.
rugged star
When you're cloning the Payment Method, you use the ID of the Customer from your Platform account. You've now moved on to doing other things where you shouldn't use that ID anymore.

is there a huge difference between clone and move
I'd like to clone, not move.
rugged star
What do you mean by move, that isn't one of our concepts that I recognize offhand?

rugged star
I see the confusion. I meant at first you, as the developer, were writing request to clone a payment method. You, as the developer, have now moved on to writing a different part of the integration where you're trying to charge the newly cloned payment method. I was not referring to moving objects within Stripe.
narrow light
anyway, if I understand correctly:
pm = stripe.PaymentMethod.create( payment_method=payment_method, customer=customer_id, stripe_account=stripe_account ) print(f"Payment method created to customer: {payment_method}, {customer_id}") stripe.PaymentMethod.attach( payment_method=pm['id'], customer=customer['id'], stripe_account=stripe_account )
rugged star
In there, the first request should use the ID of the Customer object from your Platform account. The second request should use the ID of the Customer from your Connected Account.
