The cloning methods is used basically to copy a payment method from a platform's customer to a customer on the Connect Account

yes thanks really helpful
So in your case it can't be used to configure payouts
unfortunately

Do you have a suggestion on how to resolve this / work around it?
or know of a solution?
*possible
blissful ridge
unfortunately no, AFAIK there's no workaround for this
fast elm
Cool, thanks 🙂
blissful ridge
one question, what type of connect accounts are you using? Standard, Express or custom?

one question, what type of connect accounts are you using? Standard, Express or ...
Custom
For mobile app platform
Making use of customers & payment methods, and custom accounts with external accounts (for payouts, etc)
blissful ridge
you have to collect the information separately for payment and payouts
fast elm
Was hoping to not have to do that
On an unrelated (to this question) note, the charges API, is it considered 'bad practice' to continue using?
Let me explain my use case real quick
blissful ridge
yes
blissful ridge
the Charges API doesn't allow 3DS for SCA
fast elm
Right
blissful ridge
and the list goes on and on
no actually it doesn't 😛
that's about it
I'd like to ask some advice for our use-case if you have a moment
Sure, shoot!
fast elm
Since our service makes use of small charges, some may be as low as $0.25 but many little charges over hundreds of accounts adds up. I've created an interface to work with invoices and invoice items using products and prices (tiers, etc)
I feel this approach is extremely long-winded but does tick all the 'formalities' checkbox by giving customers insight into their financial purchases
Is there an alternative service instead of invoices
blissful ridge
unfortunately you can't accept payments less than $0.5
blissful ridge
Even for PaymentIntents it's the same
fast elm
The primary location is Europe and US, but can't be used since we go to ~$0.25 so its out of the question regardless
Ah
So invoices and invoice items it is
blissful ridge
I think it won't work either for invoices, because under the hood they would also rely on the PaymentIntents
I'm not sure I could test that out for you if you give me a sec
fast elm
Oh, let me explain a bit more. $0.25 is a price value, but the invoice itself won't ever be charged unless the total is atleast $5.
So that should take care of the minimums no?
Amount intended to be collected by this PaymentIntent. A positive integer representing how much to charge in the smallest currency unit (e.g., 100 cents to charge $1.00 or 100 to charge ¥100, a zero-decimal currency). The minimum amount is $0.50 US or equivalent in charge currency. ...
We should be fine on this account (no pun intended)
blissful ridge
yes
fast elm
Cool, thanks for your help, insight and assistance
*hands 🍌
you earned it 😉
(to be clear, that was me giving Tarzan a banana, Tarzan, jungle, gorillas, etc)
blissful ridge
let me know if you need any more help
fast elm
Will do
