Delete a card 

You can delete cards from a connected account where controller.requirement_collection is application (includes Custom accounts).

There are restrictions for deleting a card with default_for_currency set to true. You cannot delete a card if any of the following apply:

  • The card’s currency is the same as the connected account’s default_currency.
  • There is another external account (card or bank account) with the same currency as the card.

To delete a card, you must first replace the default external account by setting default_for_currency with another external account in the same currency.

Parameters

  • idstringRequired

    Unique identifier for the external account to be deleted.

Returns

Returns the deleted card object.

Person 

This is an object representing a person associated with a Stripe account.

A platform can only access a subset of data in a person for an account where account.controller.requirement_collection is stripe, which includes Standard and Express accounts, after creating an Account Link or Account Session to start Connect onboarding.

See the Standard onboarding or Express onboarding documentation for information about prefilling information and account onboarding steps. Learn more about handling identity verification with the API.
