Hello 👋
Have you had a chance to look at this guide here? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cloning-customers-across-accounts

Yep, I keep trying this one - but the user that is on the platform account only has a pm id.
I get to the point where I create the token, but then it says - If your platform uses the Payment Methods API, you must pass the payment method ID as the payment_method parameter instead of passing the source parameter.
So then it seems as though the token is irrelevant? Or am I misreading that?
We have been charging with customerid and card_id up until now. So I'm not really clear on how paymentMethods plus setupIntent works together.
shrewd bear
Yup AFAIK if you're using Payment Methods API then you don't need to create a token
ebon gazelle
Right - so I can't figure out how to get the payment information into the connected customer's account.
shrewd bear
You've done this part as well?

ebon gazelle
yes
I get to the point where a paymentMethod is created
then I tried to setupIntent with usage=offSession
all of that happens successfully, but then I don't see any payment info in the client's account
shrewd bear
Once you create a payment method, are you able to attach it to a customer before creating the SetupIntent?

Is there something that I need to do with the client secret?
shrewd bear
do you have an example SetupIntent ID I can look into?

Awesome! 😄
