Rails - Stripe::InvalidRequestError (Must provide source or customer.)

I'm building an application (based in online resource). You can sign up or login with devise. Then, you can buy a product. Or make your own list and sell your products.

I'm integrating Stripe. When I create the Charge, I get this error in the console: Stripe::InvalidRequestError (Must provide source or customer.).

Here is the code of the orders_controller.rb for the charge action:

Stripe.api_key = ENV["STRIPE_API_KEY"]
token = params[:stripeToken]

begin
  charge = Stripe::Charge.create(
    :amount => (@listing.price * 100).floor,
    :currency => "usd",
    :card => token
    )
  flash[:notice] = "Thanks for ordering!"
rescue Stripe::CardError => e
  flash[:danger] = e.message
end

Of course I'm taking a look in the Stripe API Documentation here: Charge documentation example and here: Charge full API Reference

I'm not sure how to handle the :resource or customer. I saw in other materials in the web that some people create a customer. In other sites it says that the :card is deprecated, so I'm a little confused.

I will leave the github repository of my project, and feel free to take a look. I'm trying to deal with Transfers and Recipients too. Project Repository

Thanks.

For anyone going through the Stripe docs, you may have something like this (using an existing account)

account_links = Stripe::AccountLink.create({
  account: 'acct_1032D82eZvKYlo2C',
  refresh_url: 'https://example.com/reauth',
  return_url: 'https://example.com/return',
  type: 'account_onboarding',
})

if so, just change it to look like this (i.e. include the actual account.id you created in the previous step):

account_links = Stripe::AccountLink.create({
  account: account.id,
  refresh_url: 'https://example.com/reauth',
  return_url: 'https://example.com/return',
  type: 'account_onboarding',
})

As mentioned in the docs, stripe expects either customer or source to be mentioned while creating a charge. So, you either need to

  • Create a customer on stripe(if you want to charge that customer in future too) from the token you received, and mention that customer while creating a charge,

    customer = Stripe::Customer.create(source: params[:stripeToken])

charge = Stripe::Charge.create({
  :amount => 400,
  :currency => "usd",
  :customer => customer.id,
  :description => "Charge for [email protected]"
})

  • Or, if you don't want to create a customer, then directly mention received token as a source,

    Stripe::Charge.create({
  :amount => 400,
  :currency => "usd",
  :source => params[:stripeToken],
  :description => "Charge for [email protected]"
})
