Stripe Connect - shared customer , cant charge

Hi I am trying to implement stripe connect where the platform takes an application fee but the connected user gets majority of charge.

Following this as my guide https://stripe.com/docs/connect/shared-customers

I have this as my code. The user is saved w/ default credit card source in another view.

    Parse.Cloud.define("chargeCard", function(req, res){
      stripe.tokens.create({
        customer: req.params.customer,
      }, {
        stripe_account: req.params.stripeAccount,
      }).then((token) => {
        console.log("successfully created token");
        stripe.charges.create({
          amount: req.params.amount,
          currency: req.params.currency,
          source: token.id,
          application_fee: req.params.fee,
        }, {
          stripe_account: req.params.stripeAccount,
        }).then((charge) => {
          console.log("successfully charged card");
          res.success(charge);
        }).catch((error) => {
          console.log(error);
          res.error(error.message);
        });
      }).catch((error) => {
        console.log(error);
        res.error(error.message);
      });
    });

But receive the error:

"You provided a customer without specifying a source. The default source of the customer is a source and cannot be shared from existing customer".

Im not able to specify its default source in the create token body. any help?

This issue was with the users source. Although the user had a credit card source it is not "shareable" (as the error kinda states) , you need to create a shared source when using stripe-connect.

https://stripe.com/docs/sources/connect#creating-direct-charges

You want to use this instead of the above tokens.create for direct charges in stripe-connect. 

stripe.sources.create({
  customer: "cus_AFGbOSiITuJVDs",
  usage: "reusable",
  original_source: "src_19YP2AAHEMiOZZp1Di4rt1K6",
}, {
  stripe_account: "{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}",
}).then(function(token) {
  // asynchronously called
});

FYI: I do not save or attach this new source, kept the primary one and the regenerate a new token for each purchase since my application is 1 to many sellers.
