Adds credential reuse for Global Payouts with Accounts v2 Public preview
What’s new
If you opt in to the Accounts v2 API, you can now reuse eligible payment credentials for Global Payouts in public preview.
After you opt in, Stripe syncs existing and new Customer objects with customer-configured Account objects. Stripe can then reuse eligible PaymentMethods already collected for that customer to create a PayoutMethod for Global Payouts to the same Account, streamlining creation of a recipient. This reduces the need to recollect payout details and identity information for users you already know. Initial support includes US debit cards and US bank accounts.

Impact
This change affects Global Payouts users who both collect payments from and send payouts to the same user.
Previously, you needed to separately collect payout details and identity information when configuring a user as a recipient, even if you had already collected credentials for that same user on a Customer object. With this change, eligible payment credentials and previously collected identity information on a customer-configured Account can be reused when that same Account is configured as a Global Payouts recipient.
This feature requires opting in to Accounts v2 and using a supported preview API version. No action is required if you don’t want to join the preview.
