Wrong "StripeInvalidRequestError, Must provide source or customer" error?

[bebbi]

If I add

stripe_account: 'acct_XXXX',
application_fee: 100

to my call to stripe.charges.create(), it consistently fails with the error in the title. If I leave these out, it consistently succeeds.

Reading the API docs I realize that coming from python I'm probably posting the "stripe_account" info in the wrong way, but the error still looks invalid.

Two examples of the full payload (some anon with dots by me):

Success:

{
  "source": "tok_19oF...IZNC",
  "capture": false,
  "amount": 33000,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "description": "Some description",
  "receipt_email": "[email protected]",
  "metadata": {
    [... some metadata...]
  }

Failure:

{
  "source": "tok_19oF...StPM",
  "capture": false,
  "amount": 33000,
  "currency": "EUR",
  "application_fee": 100,
  "stripe_account": "acct_18Ea...",
  "description": "Some description",
  "receipt_email": "[email protected]",
  "metadata": {
    [... some metadata...]
  }
}

The stripe_account parameter must be passed in a separate hash. The code should be:

stripe.charges.create(
  {
    "source": "tok_19oF...StPM",
    "capture": false,
    "amount": 33000,
    "currency": "EUR",
    "application_fee": 100,
    "description": "Some description",
    "receipt_email": "[email protected]",
    "metadata": {
      [... some metadata...]
    }
  },
  {stripe_account: "acct_XXXXXX"}
);

Thanks for the clarification @remi-stripe! And apologies for confusion, this issue should actually be about the misleading error, not the actual call - it should probably say something along 'unexpected account_id field' rather than 'must provide source or customer'.

@bebbi I can't find that specific request but my guess is that something is not sent properly in your code so we default to the common error indicating that to charge a customer you need to pass a token or a customer id.

[jlomas-stripe]

@bebbi There's an issue in the way requests get created if you don't separate out stripe_account into the options object: what ends up happening there is that all your values disappear in the request that Stripe receives, so Stripe's API responds to what it got in that case - which is a request without a source or customer.

I'm getting this error when I just try to package it up for the very first time with grunt run/grunt package, per the README instructions. What am I missing? There shouldn't be any stripe requests triggered in setup, should there?

@staringispolite This library is only for server-side use. On the client side, you'll want to use Checkout or Elements.

StripeInvalidRequestError: Funds can't be sent to accounts located in IN because it's restricted outside of your platform's region
can we avoid this error in stripe test mode?

@Hasnain-110 this is a github issue from 5 years and you provided zero information and it's irrelevant to the question at hand.
