Creating Payment Methods via API

Often our customers want to create customer payment methods via the MonetizeNow API's in their own product as opposed to via the UI or via a MonetizeNow invoice. We fully support in two simple processes, depending on your desires.

Option 1: Directly via Stripe

1. Send Payment information directly to Stripe via Stripe Elements
2. Share this Payment information to MonetizeNow via POST /api/accounts/${accountId}/paymentMethods Full API details here

Option 2: Fully in MonetizeNow

1. Check if a Stripe customer already exists
   GET /api/accounts/${accountId}/paymentGateways/${gatewayId}/gatewayAccount
2. If not, create one,
   POST /api/accounts/${accountId}/paymentGateways/${gatewayId}/gatewayAccount
   This returns a gatewayAccountId that is specific to that Stripe customer and looks like cus_PY9p1v12wEo
3. Create a Stripe setup intent
   POST /api/paymentGateways/${gatewayId}/gatewayAccounts/${gatewayAccountId}/setupIntent
4. Get the Stripe client secret
   GET /api/paymentGateways/${gatewayId}/gatewayAccounts/${gatewayAccountId}/clientSecret
5. Render the Stripe payment UI for secure payment information capture
   1. We pass in the client secret to initialize the Stripe UI
6. Save payment method
   POST /api/accounts/${accountId}/paymentMethods
