Hey there, can you clarify what you are trying to do? You mentioned updating a payment method but also charges/intents.

This is a hypothetical case, because I am still investigating about it: suppose I have a subscribed user and they want to update their default payment method, I saw that you can do it with the stripe.customers.updateSource method, that means I need to create a new token in the frontend and then send it back to the server, including the customer id so I can update it, but then I saw that using the createToken method is part of the Charges API, and the documentation says that the Charges API is for the USA and Canada only, so I am confused if I am able to use the token for updating the card or if I need to create an intent

Depending on how you want to update the details, you may want to use a setup intent to authenticate, yes, but this is not strictly required.

#

You can update the card/source (eg for expiry) or create a new one, or a new payment method, as you see fit.

But if I use the token method, will it work for global users?

#

What do you mean by global users here? It depends on the support for the exact payment method you mean:
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/transitioning#transitioning

Transitioning to the Payment Methods API

Learn about the differences compared to Sources and Tokens.

#

If you mean just for credit cards, token will work fine, but you should be aware of considerations such as SCA for Europe:
https://stripe.com/docs/strong-customer-authentication

Strong Customer Authentication readiness

Learn how the Strong Customer Authentication regulation affects your business and how to update your integration to support it.

#

And you will need to use Setup Intents (and payment methods) to collect cards in a way that supports SCA

Oh I see... With global I mean for users outside USA and Canada, but I will take a look to those links

Sounds good -- I'd suggest reviewing and testing out what you're actually trying to do in test mode, and let us know if/where you encounter issues with specific examples/errors

#

My colleague @rich bough can give you a hand with that
