Create a card v1Deprecated

POST /v1/customers/:id/sources

This API is deprecated. Use the PaymentMethods API instead.

When you create a new credit card, you must specify a customer or recipient on which to create it.

If the card’s owner has no default card, then the new card will become the default. However, if the owner already has a default, then it will not change. To change the default, you should update the customer to have a new default_source.

Parameters

  • sourceobject | stringRequired

    A token, like the ones returned by Stripe.js or a dictionary containing a user’s card details (with the options shown below). Stripe will automatically validate the card.

  • metadatamap

    Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

Returns

Returns the Card object.
