Hello

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 4:27 PM

#

Hi 👋

can you be more specific about your question?

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 4:29 PM

#

I am creating customer into main and connected account also used the setupIntent, and using the. but during the payment intente i am getting an error like below

slotDetails.catId 65c608806782899b0698f069
Error creating payment intent: StripeInvalidRequestError: No such PaymentMethod: 'pm_1R1o9IFhYfQgOdcB72OoEObk'; OAuth key or Stripe-Account header was used but API request was provided with a platform-owned payment method ID. Please ensure that the provided payment method matches the specified account.

#

i am getting this type of error bcz during cutomer creation payment method is not created ?

#

const { email, name, catId, itemId} = req.body;

  const paymentInfo = await stripeService.getPaymentInfo(catId, itemId);

  const provider = paymentInfo[0]

  const stripeData = provider.get('stripe');
  const connectedAccountId = stripeData.fields.accountId;

  const { customerId } = await stripeService.createCustomerIntoMainAndConnected(name, email ,connectedAccountId);

  const setupIntent = await stripe.setupIntents.create({
    payment_method_types: ['card'],
    customer: customerId,

above is my code

Can you share an API request ID for this error? It will start with req_

Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

req_tXfcSQdSdMjfdy

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

Thanks

#

The payment method you are trying to use belongs to acct_1QBBwSFhYfQgOdcB. But you are trying to use it on a Payment Intent that is created on acct_1QWf5yFvwcOuFt19. This won't work

#

I think you are missing a step in your integration.

You are saving Payment Methods to your Platform Account, right? And then you want to use them on Connected accounts?

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 4:35 PM

#

currently i am only creating the customers not any payment methods. does this required ?

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 4:35 PM

#

Sorry but that is not correct, based on what I am looking at.

#

Let's take a pause

#

and can you describe first the steps you take on the Platform Account. Ignore everything about Connected Accounts right now.

#

For instance, based on the request you shared, this payment method pm_1R1o9IFhYfQgOdcB72OoEObk was created on that Platform account in this request. It only exists on the Platform Account.

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

let me explain you. i want to first i want to take the customer's card info and stored them so that using that card customer will pay in future.

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

take the customer's card info and stored them
On the platform, right?

#

You need to be explicit about exactly what accounts each action takes place on

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

loud siren > take the customer's card info and stored them On the platform, right?

want to do this for on platform account as well as connected account.

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

Okay so here is what you do.

You collect the payment method data like you are doing now, on the Platform.
Then, before you attempt to process a charge on the Connected Account, you make a one-time use copy of the Payment Method to the Connect Account
Then you process the charge using the Payment Method ID for the Payment Method you just created on the Connected Account

#

We have a guide for this exact process here. I recommend you take some time to build exactly what we describe here and test it out. I think this will do what you want.

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 4:48 PM

#

Okay thanks but currently i am not doing anything like You collect the payment method data like you are doing now, on the Platform.

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 4:50 PM

#

Yes, you are.

Give me a sec to get all the related requests

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 4:51 PM

#

Okay, waiting

#

pm_1R4kCjFhYfQgOdcBJJu3ziqu

#

this is the current method id i m using

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 4:52 PM

#

Payment Method pm_1R1o9IFhYfQgOdcB72OoEObk belongs to Platform Account acct_1QBBwSFhYfQgOdcB
It was created in this request
The request that failed was trying to use on Connected Account acct_1QWf5yFvwcOuFt19

#

pm_1R4kCjFhYfQgOdcBJJu3ziqu
this is the current method id i m using

No, it isn't

#

You shared req_tXfcSQdSdMjfdy. That request passed payment_method: "pm_1R1o9IFhYfQgOdcB72OoEObk",

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

yes i got your point

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 4:56 PM

#

Great! So, if you follow the guide I provided earlier, you should be able to use your existing approach with one extra step and get the results you are looking for.

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

I got your points

#

now i have one question,

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 4:59 PM

#

Okay sure

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 5:04 PM

#

let existingCustomers = await stripe.customers.list({ email, limit: 1 });

  let mainCustomer;
  if (existingCustomers.data.length > 0) {
      mainCustomer = existingCustomers.data[0]; 
      console.log(`Customer already exists in main account: ${mainCustomer.id}`);
  } else {
      mainCustomer = await stripe.customers.create({
          email,
          name,
      });
      console.log(`Customer created in main account: ${mainCustomer.id}`);
  }

  let connectedCustomers = await stripe.customers.list(
      { email, limit: 1 },
      { stripeAccount: connectedAccountId }
  );

  let connectedCustomer;
  if (connectedCustomers.data.length > 0) {
      connectedCustomer = connectedCustomers.data[0]; 
      console.log(`Customer already exists in connected account: ${connectedCustomer.id}`);
  } else {
      connectedCustomer = await stripe.customers.create(
          { email, name },
          { stripeAccount: connectedAccountId }
      );
      console.log(`Customer copied to connected account: ${connectedCustomer.id}`);
  }

  return {
      mainCustomerId: mainCustomer.id,
      connectedCustomerId: connectedCustomer.id
  };

this is my function for creating the customer into main account and make the copy of tht customer into connected account , so for the payment methods i need to do same . correct ? but this payment method will sent from the front end then i can make the copy into connected account correct ?

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 5:05 PM

#

You need to follow the guide I provided. I recommend building that as a separate test integration to be sure you understand how it behaves and how you can add it to your integration.

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

Okay thanks

loud siren Mar 20, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

But, essentially, you are correct. Once you have the Payment Method saved to your Platform Account, you can clone it to the Connected Account using the same approach as above.

I am stressing you review our documentation to make sure we dont' overlook a key detail in this process. Building an end-to-end simulation is really the best way to know for certain if this approach will work for you.

native ploverBOT Mar 20, 2025, 5:15 PM

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 5:20 PM

#

can we do something like await stripe.paymentMethods.attach(cardId, { customer: customerId }); ?

vagrant parcel Mar 20, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

Hi there, stepping in for my colleague here

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 5:21 PM

#

Hello

#

can i use the stripe.paymentMethods.attach method ?

vagrant parcel Mar 20, 2025, 5:29 PM

#

At which stage are you referring to? When saving card details on the platform?

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 5:30 PM

#

yes, when saving card details into playform as well as make a copy of that into connected account

vagrant parcel Mar 20, 2025, 5:31 PM

#

Why not follow the guide my colleague provided earlier and use a SetupIntent? That's this step: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/direct-charges-multiple-accounts#create-setup-intent

#

Using SetupIntents is the recommended approach, rather than manually attaching a payment method to a customer.

A SetupIntent 1) creates a pm_ Payment Method and 2) associates that Payment Method with a Customer

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 5:34 PM

#

i have setUpIntent api, front end team is calling that api and payment methods are always created into the front end side correct ?

vagrant parcel Mar 20, 2025, 5:35 PM

#

SetupIntents are an API resource; they are created on the backend and confirmed on the frontend. When a SetupIntent is confirmed with payment method details from Elements, it creates a Payment Method

#

which you get in the response to stripe.confirmSetup

#

https://docs.corp.stripe.com/js/setup_intents/confirm_setup

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 5:36 PM

#

i am only working into backend side.

#

so i need backend guide

vagrant parcel Mar 20, 2025, 5:38 PM

#

Are you using Stripe Elements to collect payment method details on the frontend?

austere torrent Mar 20, 2025, 5:39 PM

#

not aware about that

vagrant parcel Mar 20, 2025, 5:41 PM

#

This isn't a purely backend process and the details about what is happening on the other end of the flow are important

#

Where does the pm_ come from? Do you have an (representative) example you can provide?
