To reuse a Cash App Pay payment method for future payments, attach it to a Customer.
Create a Customer object when your customer creates an account with your business, and associate the ID of the Customer object with your own internal representation of a customer. Alternatively, you can create a new Customer later, right before saving a payment method for future payments.
Create a new Customer or retrieve an existing Customer to associate with this payment. Include the following code on your server to create a new Customer.
Create a Checkout SessionServer-side
Your customer must authorize you to use their Cash App account for future payments through Stripe Checkout. This allows you to accept Cash App payments. Add a checkout button to your website that calls a server-side endpoint to create a Checkout Session.
<html> <head> <title>Checkout</title> </head> <body> <form action="/create-checkout-session" method="POST"> <button type="submit">Checkout</button> </form> </body> </html>
Create a Checkout Session in setup mode to collect the required information. After creating the Checkout Session, redirect your customer to the URL returned in the response.
