Create or retrieve a customer Server-side
To reuse a Cash App Pay payment method for future payments, attach it to an object that represents your customer.
Use the Accounts v2 API to represent customers
The Accounts v2 API is generally available for Connect users, and in public preview for other Stripe users. If you’re part of the Accounts v2 preview, you need to specify a preview version in your code.
To join the Accounts v2 preview, go to Account previews and features in your Dashboard and enable Reusable payment methods for Global Payouts.
For most use cases, we recommend modeling your customers as customer-configured Account objects instead of using Customer objects.
Create a customer-configured Account or Customer when your customer creates an account with your business, or when saving a payment method. Associate the object’s ID with your own internal representation of a customer.
Create a new customer or retrieve an existing one to associate with this payment.

Create a Checkout Session Server-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.
index.html
<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.

Test your integration Server-side
To test your integration, choose Cash App Pay as the payment method and tap Pay. While testing, this redirects you to a test payment page where you can approve or decline the payment.
In live mode, tapping Pay redirects you to the Cash App mobile application—you don’t have the option to approve or decline the payment within Cash App. The payment is automatically approved after the redirect.
