Hi there! Ask your question in this thread.

#

Going to move your comment to this thread @elfin portal

#

Does anyone know if you can embed a Token object inside a Customer object. I don't use any of the HTML Pages or React, but make direct HTTP request to Stripe, but I have customers that want a token for recurring payments, but I'm trying not to make multiply calls to get a recurring token

#

You can attach a card to a Customer, yes.

#

This is much easier if you aren't using tokens at all

#

If you instead use PaymentIntents and PaymentMethods then you can have the card attached to the Customer upon confirmation client-side.

#

I already have PaymentIntents and I can send a Payment Method within the PaymentIntent

#

So does that mean I can create a Customer at the same time and therefore store the card to get a token

#

When you create the PaymentIntent you want to use setup_future_usage

#

That will attach the PaymentMethod to the Customer upon payment

#

See: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-setup_future_usage
