Stripe Error 400 - Cannot use stripe token more than once

Question

I keep receiving error code 400 on my stripe dashboard. It seems like im using the same stripe token more than once and this produces an error. Below is my code.

Js:

    <script src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js"></script>     <script>      var handler = StripeCheckout.configure({         key: 'pk_test_******************',         image: '/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png',         token: function(token) {           /*$.post("php/charge.php",{stripeToken:token.id},function(data,status){               console.log("Data: "+ data+"\nStatus: "+status);           });*/           alert(token.used);//alerts false           $.post("php/charge.php",{stripeToken:token.id});           alert(token.used);// still alerts false         }       });        $('#myButton').on('click', function(e) {         // Open Checkout with further options         handler.open({           name: 'Demo Site',           description: '2 widgets',           currency: "cad",           amount: 2000         });         e.preventDefault();       });        // Close Checkout on page navigation       $(window).on('popstate', function() {         handler.close();       });     </script> 

Php:

<?php   require_once('config.php');    $token  = $_POST['stripeToken'];    $customer = \Stripe\Customer::create(array(       'email' => '[email protected]',       'card'  => $token   ));    //try {     $charge = \Stripe\Charge::create(array(       "amount" => 1000, // amount in cents, again       "currency" => "cad",       "source" => $token,       "description" => "Example charge")     );     //}catch(\Stripe\Error\Card $e) {       // The card has been declined     //} ?> 

Can anyone tell my why I cant charge a customer? How am I using a key multiple times?

You do use the token twice.

First, when creating the customer. Second, when trying to charge the card.

Instead, you can create a customer and and then pass $customer->id to Stripe when you create the charge:

$charge = \Stripe\Charge::create(array(   "amount" => 1000, // amount in cents, again   "currency" => "cad",   "customer" => $customer->id,   "description" => "Example charge") );
