No Such Payment Method - Clone Payment Method Stripe Connect

Question

I'm following this example to clone a payment method: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods

const paymentMethod = await stripe.paymentMethods.create(
    {
        customer: card.customer,
        payment_method: card.id,
    },
    {
        stripeAccount: vendorAcc,
    }
);

This returns:

{
  id: 'pm_....',
  object: 'payment_method',
  billing_details: {
    address: {
      city: null,
      country: null,
      line1: null,
      line2: null,
      postal_code: null,
      state: null
    },
    email: '...',
    name: '...',
    phone: null
  },
  card: {
    brand: 'visa',
    checks: {
      address_line1_check: null,
      address_postal_code_check: null,
      cvc_check: 'pass'
    },
    country: 'US',
    exp_month: 3,
    exp_year: ...,
    fingerprint: 'c...',
    funding: 'credit',
    generated_from: null,
    last4: '4242',
    networks: { available: [Array], preferred: null },
    three_d_secure_usage: { supported: true },
    wallet: null
  },
  created: 1616118576,
  customer: null,
  livemode: false,
  metadata: {},
  type: 'card'
}

However, when I next try to run:

const paymentMethod2 = await stripe.paymentMethods.retrieve(
     paymentMethod.id
);

or

const paymentMethodAttached = await stripe.paymentMethods.attach(
    paymentMethod.id,
    { customer: card.customer }

I get the error:

    );

UPDATE:

I am now running:

const paymentMethodAttached = await stripe.paymentMethods.attach( 
      paymentMethod.id,
      {
          customer: card.customer,
      },
      {
          stripeAccount: vendorAcc,
      }
);

This throws the error:

No such customer: 'cus_...'

When I run

const paymentMethod2 = await stripe.paymentMethods.retrieve(
      paymentMethod.id,
      {
         stripeAccount: vendorAcc,
      }
);
   

this returns successfully, with:

      country: null,

Answer 1

“No such...” errors are usually caused by either a mismatch in API keys (e.g. using a mixture of your test plus live keys) or by trying to access objects that exist on a different account (e.g. trying to perform an operation from your platform account on an object that was created on a connected account).

In this case it's the second one: your retrieve or attach calls don't include the Stripe-Account header, so they're looking on the wrong Stripe Account.

Update: Also the Customer must exist on the Connected Account, which it likely doesn't given your 'no such Customer' error.
