I am saving customers and their sources on my platform, and trying to create charges for my connected accounts. I am able to successfully create destination charges, but I'm having trouble with creating direct charges.
I've tried creating a token per: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/shared-customers
If I create a token using just the customer the example, the error is:
'You provided a customer without specifying a source. The default source of the customer is a source and cannot be shared from existing customers.'
Even though the documentation says that you need "The card or bank account ID for that customer, if you want to charge a specific card or bank account rather than the default".
I cannot find a parameter that lets me specify a source as well or instead of a customer.
I've tried sharing the customer's chosen source with the connected account per: https://stripe.com/docs/sources/connect#shared-card-sources which results in the error:
'Sending credit card numbers directly to the Stripe API is generally unsafe. We suggest you use test tokens that map to the test card you are using, see https://stripe.com/docs/testing.'
I tried attaching a test token (tok_visa) to my customer, and creating a charge with that, but that had the same result.
Every time I have some success I end up with the error about sending numbers being unsafe even though I'm only ever sending Stripe's provided token or source ID's.
I've tried this:
const newToken = await stripe.tokens.create({
customer: customerId,
}, {
stripe_account: stripeAccountId,
}).catch((e) => {
console.log(e);
});
and this:
const newToken = await stripe.sources.create({
customer: customerId,
usage: 'single_use',
original_source: sourceId,
}, {
stripe_account: stripeAccountId,
}).catch((e) => {
console.log(e);
});
The only success I've had is creating the direct charge with a test token (tok_visa), completely bypassing the sharing of tokens/sources. No other combination seems to work. But that leaves me at a loss as to how to get a real shared token when I need it.
