⏲️ We'll be here soon! We typically respond in a few minutes, but in some cases we might need a bit more time (e.g., server's busy, you've got a complex question, etc.).

⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can start a new thread if you have another question.

@brittle nacelle We don't let you do this server-side. You should never need to do that to test anything though. We have test card numbers with magic ids such as pm_card_visa instead, see https://stripe.com/docs/testing#cards

We tried with pm_card_visa but the same error came out. Does stripe support raw card registration passthrough or has this been discontinued?
We did as described in the documentation https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods/object?lang=node

const stripe = require('stripe')(env.SECRET);
const paymentMethod = await stripe.paymentMethods.create({
  type: 'card',
  card: {
    number: '4242424242424242',
    exp_month: 8,
    exp_year: 2026,
    cvc: '314',
  },
});

It's supported but it comes with strict rules and approval. Really never call this server-side. It won't work and you don't need it.
Instead do this: const paymentMethod = await stripe.paymentMethods.retrieve('pm_card_visa'); and it's going to create a PaymentMethod based on that 4242 card for you

Okay, let's try this approach on our platform.
