Hi there, can you send me the request ID?

topaz void Jun 17, 2022, 1:41 AM

#

Nevermind

#

seems like I got it working

#

🙂

#

Thank you!!!

#

That's great! feel free to come back if you have other questions

#

I am trying to update a payment method but I am getting the following error: You must save this PaymentMethod to a customer before you can update it.

hollow mulch Jun 17, 2022, 1:53 AM

#

Request ID?

#

Ah, it's OK I know the problem.

#

Basically you can't update a payment method unless it's attached to a customer

topaz void Jun 17, 2022, 1:53 AM

#

I am following this procedure:

#

Create token: req_edyok7FMe6bpb7

#

Create customer: req_R5khlMvRtjXVRm

#

Create setupintent: req_Q6zDM8KcTCN5bM

#

Try to update PM: req_9UrP65piKBUoHr

#

What am I missing?

#

Why isn't the PM getting attached to the customer?

#

Thought that including the customer id when creating the setup intent was enough

#

Let me check something one sec.

#

I noticed that you passed a on_behalf_of, are you setting up a payment method for a connected account?

topaz void Jun 17, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

Yes

hollow mulch Jun 17, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

And the customer that you passed in, was it created in that connected account?

topaz void Jun 17, 2022, 2:00 AM

#

Yes

hollow mulch Jun 17, 2022, 2:00 AM

#

Hmm, actually it's created in the platform, not connected account.

topaz void Jun 17, 2022, 2:02 AM

#

is that a prob?

hollow mulch Jun 17, 2022, 2:03 AM

#

Let us take a step back, what do you want to achieve here?

topaz void Jun 17, 2022, 2:03 AM

#

I want to be able to create a PM and update it

#

this is for testing an integration

#

I want to add some metadata to the recently created PM

hollow mulch Jun 17, 2022, 2:04 AM

#

and this PM is for platform or connected account?

topaz void Jun 17, 2022, 2:06 AM

#

For an express connected account

hollow mulch Jun 17, 2022, 2:09 AM

#

OK. Thanks for the context.

#

I've checked the setupIntent log, the status is still requires_confirmation, and that's why the payment method is not attached to the customer.

#

You should confirm (https://stripe.com/docs/api/setup_intents/confirm) the setupIntent, and the payment method will be attached to the customer if the confirmation is successful.

topaz void Jun 17, 2022, 2:11 AM

#

Got it

#

Makes sense

hollow mulch Jun 17, 2022, 2:11 AM

#

Alternatively, you can also set confirm=true when creating the SetupIntent (https://stripe.com/docs/api/setup_intents/create#create_setup_intent-confirm), so that Stripe will attempt to confirm it when creating the SetupIntent.

#

Awesome!!!

#

Worked like a charm

#

Thank you!!!
