Hi! What is your question?

topaz heart Mar 11, 2022, 1:32 PM

#

Hi Soma, I wondered if Stripe API allows create a "Source" no email in the options object, I would like to do by customerID

#

I'm not sure I understand. What do you mean by "create a Source no email in the options object"

https://stripe.com/docs/api/sources/create

Stripe API reference – Create a source – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

this method in Stripe API

#

I have to provide an email, however My system has customer no email

#

Got it! Then a few things:
First, the source API is quite old, you should be using PaymentMethod instead. We have a guide explaining how to do the transition: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/transitioning

#

Second, if you have to use source, then the owner property is required for some type of sources. What type of source are you using?

#

Yes, I know the new thing Stripe API, however we can't migrate it yet.

#

the type = SourceType.AchCreditTransfer,

#

thank you for your advice, however we cannot moved to PaymentIntent in our app yet 🙂

#

Got it! Then for type: "ach_credit_transfer", you need to provide an email in the source object

Soma, thank you! I have a last question for you.

#

I was trying to understand what is the benefit of the "Source" for ACH Payments, it could help us to save a verified ACH bank account?

#

What do you mean by "the benefit of the Source for ACH Payments"?
Ideally you should use a PaymentMethod to accept payments with Stripe, but if you can't then you need to use a source.

#

okay, I can attach a bank account token to a customer, and use the customerId to make a charge... in that point I think, I don't need the source, do I?

Hi there 👋 jumping in as soma needed to step away. Attaching the bank token to a customer creates a source out of it. If you try to just use the token for a payment then it will be only available one time, but attaching it to a customer and turning it into a source allows you to reuse it.

Not sure if you've seen it but we have a guide that walks through the process of setting up an ACH payment flow:
https://stripe.com/docs/ach

ACH guide

Stripe supports accepting ACH payments—directly from bank accounts—alongside credit cards. We currently only support ACH for Stripe businesses based in the US.

@stark needle Thank you for that answer, however I would like to clarify something.

#

If I added a bank account token a customer, it will create the source? and then I can use the customerId to create the charge?

stark needle Mar 11, 2022, 3:34 PM

#

Yup, that document shows that exact flow along with code snippets.

topaz heart Mar 11, 2022, 3:35 PM

#

Awesome!

#

do you know what is the difference if I use "ACH Credit Transfer payments with Sources" instead of following that process mentioned previously?

#

Hey there 👋
Stepping in for toby here as they had to step away
Give me a moment to catch up 🙂

#

instead of following that process mentioned previously?
can you clarify which process specifically?
