Hi there, the error is pretty self-explanatory. Can you tell me what is confusing you?

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

idont rly understand where is the problem

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:07 PM

#

Can you provide the request ID?

#

It looks like req_xxxxx

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:08 PM

#

req_mfFDD22P2vDZjN

#

ty

#

this is pretty self-explanatory but how do I fix it ?

#

this is my problem

#

XD

#

Looking

#

Looks like that paymnetmethod was previously detached form a customer: https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_t0GqSx20dDPLKu

#

Once a PaymentMethod is detached it is consumed and can't be used in the future.

#

You can only use a PaymentMethod with one Customer on the account

#

Otherwise you need to recollect card details if you want to use the same card with a different Customer object

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:14 PM

#

one paymentMethod with one customer?

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:14 PM

#

Correct

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:14 PM

#

what if ive mil of customers

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:14 PM

#

I don't understand.

#

Let's back up

#

What are you trying to accomplish?

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:15 PM

#

if i have 1M customers?

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:15 PM

#

Then each of those customers has their own credit card, no?

#

So they would each have an attached payment method

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:15 PM

#

yes i need to go with 1M paymentMethod？

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:15 PM

#

Well you collect a PaymentMethod from a customer when they pay, right?

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:16 PM

#

yes

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:16 PM

#

So then yeah.... you would collect as many different PaymentMethods as your customers provide you to pay with.

#

The point of the Customer object within Stripe is to allow you to re-use PaymentMethods without needing to collect the card details again.

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:17 PM

#

severe bobcat Once a PaymentMethod is detached it is consumed and can't be used in the future.

why the card is detached, but still the customer was able to pay with card？

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:17 PM

#

But you wouldn't use the same Customer object to represent multiple different real customers

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:17 PM

#

eager folio why the card is detached, but still the customer was able to pay with card？

They weren't?

#

Where do you see they could still pay?

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:17 PM

#

the request

#

if they have no card attached, how they did the request?

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:18 PM

#

The request failed

#

The one you provided

#

In terms of how it occurred... I can't tell you that. That is your own integration that you need to debug.

#

Are you a developer?

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:19 PM

#

no pm

#

To attach a new PaymentMethod to a customer for future payments, we recommend you use a PaymentIntent with setup_future_usage: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/attach

Stripe API reference – Attach a PaymentMethod to a Customer – 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.

#

its here right?

#

yes i think so

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:23 PM

#

I recommend working with your developer to debug here for why you are de-taching a PaymentMethod that you then want to attempt to charge later on.

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:25 PM

#

sorry one more question

#

if one user did multiple times of attach/detach card action, it might cause this error right?

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:27 PM

#

Correct

#

You can't attach a card again after you detach it

#

The card is essentially deleted after being detached from a customer

eager folio May 18, 2022, 4:29 PM

#

oh which is to say if i deleted my card A , Im not able to add card A?

#

anymore?

severe bobcat May 18, 2022, 4:30 PM

#

Correct.

#

You would have to collect the card details again in that case.

#

There is no reason really to delete the card unless you never plan for it to be used again.
