Hi 👋

Hi

[mossy gale]

The approach you are taking is the correct one. You need to use the stripe account header to assign the customer to the connected accout.

But, you might need to double check the syntax.

https://stripe.com/docs/api/connected_accounts

[edgy crown]

I was referred to an example on https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication

  ["email" => "[e-mail]"],
  ["stripe_account" => "{{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}"]
);```

[mossy gale]

Were you using double quotes, or single?

[edgy crown]

$stripe->customers->create([$data],['stripe_account' => '{{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}']);

$stripe->customers->create([$data],['stripe_account' => '{{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}']);

I use single quote for all my data and worked fine until I tried to Connect the Stripe account

[mossy gale]

I just ask because the example uses double quotes and I haven't played enough with PHP to know whether or not that could disrupt the header assignment.

The error you are getting suggests that the PHP library is trying to pass the stripe_account as a parameter, rather than a header

[edgy crown]

It shouldn't as long as it is consistent - start & end string with same quote

[mossy gale]

Right, but since your request looks good to me, I'm trying to be nitpicky to see if it helps anything

[mossy gale]

What happens if you copy/paste this code right here? Does that run or give you the same error?

[edgy crown]

Is there a Customer and Customers

\Stripe\Customer::create vs $stripe->customers->create

[mossy gale]

I think the second is the preferred, more modern syntax. We discuss it a bit in the README for our PHP library.
https://github.com/stripe/stripe-php#getting-started

[edgy crown]

In essence these are the same thing?

[mossy gale]

It appears to be similar, based on the migration guide: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-php/wiki/Migration-to-StripeClient-and-services-in-7.33.0

[edgy crown]

In the API docs I couldn't find any reference to linking a Customer to a Connected Account https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers

[mossy gale]

We don't reference it explicitly in API docs because we'd be repeating ourselves for each API

It's one of the first things we reference near the top of the API docs

[edgy crown]

Ah OK,

The example works

[mossy gale]

Okay cool

Can you re-purpose that request to assign the Customers to your Connected Accounts?

[edgy crown]

I presume you can't mix Legacy approach & StripeClient approach as when I use the Legacy approach to generate the customer I get a No such customer error

[mossy gale]

That error indicates you are making the request on a different account. Can you provide request IDs?
Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

[edgy crown]

[mossy gale]

Yup, no Stripe Account header

[edgy crown]

This is my function...

        //TODO ADD TRY CATCH - Error handling
        /** @var \Stripe\Card $card */
        $card = $token->card;
        \Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey('omnipay.gateways.stripe.secret_key');

        $customer = \Stripe\Customer::create([
            'name'=>$card->name,
            'email'=>$this->getEmail(),
            'address'=>[
                'city'=>$card->address_city,
                'country'=>$card->address_country,
                'line1'=>$card->address_line1,
                'line2'=>$card->address_line2,
                'postal_code'=>$card->address_zip,
                'state'=>$card->address_state,
            ],
            ['stripe_account' => $this->getStripeAccount()]
        ]);

        $this->setStripeCustomer($customer);

        $source =  $this->stripe->customers->createSource(
            $customer->id,
            [
                'source' => $token,
            ]
        );

        $this->setStripeSource($source);

    }```

I have refactored to use the legacy approach

[mossy gale]

Okay so when you are creating the source, you need to still specify the stripe_account

Every time you want to interact with that Customer record, you will need to use that stripe_account header

[edgy crown]

            $customer->id,
            [ 'source' => $token,],
            ['stripe_account' => $this->getStripeAccount()]
        );```

[mossy gale]

And what happens when you run that?

[edgy crown]

req_CTe7ggegULt6xD

parameter_unknown - stripe_account

Sorry need to go pick up my daughter - are you around tomorrow?

[mossy gale]

Okay, passed in again as a parameter, not a header.

[edgy crown]

Thanks for your help.
