How can I make my Node.js application deployed on Google Cloud Run call the Square API?

Question

The following are the two errors I get in my browser when attempting to create a customer using the Square API:

Timeout (504 Gateway Timeout): A POST request to https://backend-437525971388.us-central1.run.app/customer is failing with a 504 Gateway Timeout error.
CORS Error: Access to fetch at 'https://backend-437525971388.us-central1.run.app/customer' from origin 'https://buzzysweets.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.

I verified with console logs that the correct production application ID, location ID, access token, and cdn are being used.

Note that: In my development environment, I successfully created a customer, order, and payment - using the sandbox credentials and cdn. I also my successfully created a customer and order - using the production credentials and cdn.

In summary, I failed to make a POST request from my frontend hosted at https://buzzysweets.com to my backend API hosted on Google Cloud Run at https://backend-437525971388.us-central1.run.app/customer. Here are the snippets of code:

import React, { useEffect, useState } from 'react';
text`import { selectCart } from '../../features/cart/cartSlice';
import { useSelector } from 'react-redux';

const PaymentForm = () => {
  const appId = process.env.REACT_APP_YOUR_SQUARE_APPLICATION_ID;
  const locationId = process.env.REACT_APP_YOUR_SQUARE_LOCATION_ID;

  const { customerInfo } = useSelector(selectCart);

  // Load Square Web Payments SDK
  useEffect(() => {
    const loadSquare = async () => {
      if (!window.Square) {
        return;
      }

      const payments = window.Square.payments(appId, locationId);

      try {
        const card = await payments.card();
        await card.attach('#card-container');
        setCard(card);
      } catch (err) {
        console.error('Error loading Square SDK', err);
      }
    };

    loadSquare();
  }, []);

  const handlePayment = async (e) => {
    e.preventDefault();
    if (!card) return;

    try {
      const tokenResult = await card.tokenize();
      if (tokenResult.status === 'OK') {
        const customerResults = await createCustomer(tokenResult.token, customerInfo);
      }
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Payment error:', err);
    }
  };

  const createCustomer = async (token, customerInfo) => {
    const bodyParameters = {
      address: {
        address: customerInfo.address,
        country: customerInfo.country,
        firstName: customerInfo.firstName,
        lastName: customerInfo.lastName,
        zipCode: customerInfo.zipcode,
      },
      givenName: customerInfo.firstName,
      familyName: customerInfo.lastName,
      emailAddress: customerInfo.emailAddress,
      idempotency_key: window.crypto.randomUUID(),
    };

    const body = JSON.stringify(bodyParameters);
    
    try {
      const response = await fetch(`${process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL_BACK}/customer`, {
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`,
        },
        body,
      });

      const result = await response.json();

      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error(`Failed to create customer: ${result.errors[0].detail}`);
      }

      return result;
    } catch (err) {
      console.error('Error creating customer:', err);
    }
  }; 
};


//ON MY BACKEND SIDE: USING NODE.JS
// server.js
const { ApiError, client: square } = require('./server/square');
const corsMiddleware = require('micro-cors')({
  origin: process.env.REACT_APP_API_URL_FRONT,

async function createCustomer(req, res) {
  const payload = await json(req);

  await retry(async (bail, attempt) => {

       console.log('customerReq:', customerReq) //This output shows correctly in Google Cloud Run's logs
     const { result, statusCode } = await square.customersApi.createCustomer(customerReq);
      console.log('customer returned result:', result); //Google Cloud Run does not show any output from this console.log

    } catch (ex) {
      if (ex instanceof ApiError) {
        logger.error("API Error:", ex.errors);
        bail(ex);
      } else {
        logger.error(`Unexpected error: ${ex}`);
        throw ex;
      }
    }
  });
}

const appRouter = router(post('/customer', createCustomer));
const corsWrappedApp = corsMiddleware(appRouter);

if (require.main === module) {
  const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;
  require('http')
    .createServer(corsWrappedApp)
    .listen(PORT);
}

module.exports = corsWrappedApp;

//config.js file: create Square API client
require('dotenv').config({
  path: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? '.env.production' : '.env.sandbox', // Dynamically choose .env file based on NODE_ENV
});

const { Client, Environment } = require('square');

const client = new Client({
  environment: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? Environment.Production : Environment.Sandbox,
  accessToken: process.env.SQUARE_ACCESS_TOKEN, 
});

module.exports = {
  client,
  isProduction: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production',
};

//square.js file: 
// Import the client from the config file
const { client } = require('./config');
const { ApiError } = require('square');

(async () => {
  try {
    const { result, statusCode } = await client.customersApi.listCustomers();
    console.log('Customers retrieved successfully:', result.customers);
  } catch (ex) {
    // Handle errors
    if (ex instanceof ApiError) {
      console.error('API Error:', ex.errors);
    } else {
       console.error('Unexpected Error:', ex);
    }
  }
})();

module.exports = { ApiError: client.ApiError, client };

How can I make my Node.js application deployed on Google Cloud Run call the Square API?
