Stripe: How to attach a debit-card for payouts

Question

I spent the last two days pouring over the stripe documentation, but can't I find how to add a card to an " account " in stripe.

Q. How to attach a debit-card for payouts to stripe.accounts.create ?

stripe.accounts.create({
    type: 'standard',
    business_type: 'individual',
    default_currency:'USD',
    country: 'US',
    email: 'bob@example.com',
    requested_capabilities: [ 'transfers' ],

    // here ?

}).then(acc => {

    // or maybe ?

}).catch(console.error)

Also, an example on how to select that payment method to payout to would be appreciated.

Thanks for any input

Answer 1

With in your counts.create() fn, add an attribute "external_account"

eg

    stripe.accounts.create({
       country: 'US',
       default_currency:'USD',
       external_account:card_token,
       type: 'custom',
       requested_capabilities: ['card_payments', 'transfers'],
     })
    .then(acc => {

Note you may need to change your type to "custom" AND you cant use a payment_method see Create a card token

Answer 2

You would tokenize a debit card using Stripe.js and Elements [0], then attach it to the Connect account as an external account: stripe.com/docs/api/external_account_cards/create
