What's the goal exactly? That api endpoint you're calling is to list payment methods by customer (cus_123 not acct_123)
Are you trying to list all payment methods stored on the connect account?

Im using the node sdk and the function im using is:
stripe.paymentIntents.create
foggy ore
That above request does not use the payment intents endpoint
Above request was to GET /v1/payment_methods
chilly basalt
Are you saying the method "stripe.paymentIntents.create" is for getting a list?
chilly basalt
The want is to send money from one connected account to another
foggy ore
You shared req_LOWpuy1k04PV88
Which is not a request to create a payment intent
It's a request to retrieve payment methods

To make a request on a connect account see: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/authentication
It'll be all the same endpoints. The difference is you need to pass a stripe account header to make the request on the connect account

Is a customerId required to get a list of payment methods for a stripe connected account?
Is there a way using the apis to have one stripe connected account charge another stripe connected account?

The way you framed this tells me you're likely mixing up fundamental concepts about our products and APIs. Don't worry it's normal, it can be confusing at first.
In our API
- A Customer represents an individual/entity trying to pay for a service. John Doe buys cookies from you for $12
- An Account represents an individual/entity being paid for a service they provide. Cookie Factory sells cookies boxes for $12.
- A Platform is the Stripe account that facilitates payments on behalf of other entities.
You are a platform. You have 2 connected Accounts that are providing services/goods and you are helping them accept payments from their Customers
Does that make sense first?
chilly basalt
Yessir that makes sense. And yes, it seems ive misused the api. So Accounts charge Customers and the Platform facilitates said transaction.
snow mica
yes. So now with that said: are you a platform? Or are you a business trying to accept payments for your own customers?
chilly basalt
i'd be the platform but i think i need to refactor what i have and get back to you. I thought it'd be possible for 2 Accounts to charge eachother, but now i see each Account charges Customers, something i dont have implemented yet
snow mica
yeah it's a bit confusing at first the whole set up
