Stripe Error: 'Token is Not Supported' when trying to sign up to subscription

Question

Can't find any information on this particular error anywhere so please bear with me.

My Angular/NodeJS app has a payment page (for monthly and annual subscriptions) handled through Stripe.

I've created the subscription types in my Stripe dashboard (two subscriptions: StarterAnnual and StarterMonthly), and I've set up the handler like so:

  var handler = StripeCheckout.configure({           key: 'pk_test_qs8Ot1USopAZAyLN3gNXma0T',           image: '/img/stripe-logo.png',           locale: 'auto',           email: $scope.user.email,           token: function(token) {             console.log(token)             var tempObj = {                 stripeToken : token,                 email : $scope.user.email,                 cost : $scope.plan.price * 100                 plan : $scope.plan.name             }             $http.post('/api/makePayment', tempObj).then(function(data){                 console.log('stripe data', data);             },function(err){                 console.log('stripe error', err);             })           }         });          handler.open({           name: '<bizname>',           description: $scope.plan.name,           amount: $scope.plan.price * 100         }); 

In my Node route, I'm doing this:

exports.makePayment = function(req,res){    var stripeToken = req.body.stripeToken,             email = req.body.email,              cost = req.body.cost,              plan = req.body.plan;    var tempObj = {     source: stripeToken,     plan: plan,     email: email   }    console.log(tempObj); // Everything looks fine in this log    stripe.customers.create(tempObj, function(err, customer) {     if(err){       console.log("Stripe Error");       console.log(err);     }else{       console.log(customer);       res.status(200).send(customer);     }    }); } 

When I try to make a payment I get:

Stripe Error { [Error: token is not supported.]   type: 'StripeInvalidRequestError',   stack: 'Error: token is not supported.\n    at Error._Error (/node_modules/stripe/lib/Error.js:12:17)\n    at Error.Constructor (/node_modules/stripe/lib/utils.js:105:13)\n    at Error.Constructor (/node_modules/stripe/lib/utils.js:105:13)\n    at Function.StripeError.generate (/node_modules/stripe/lib/Error.js:56:14)\n    at IncomingMessage.<anonymous> (/node_modules/stripe/lib/StripeResource.js:138:39)\n    at emitNone (events.js:72:20)\n    at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:166:7)\n    at endReadableNT (_stream_readable.js:905:12)\n    at doNTCallback2 (node.js:452:9)\n    at process._tickCallback (node.js:366:17)',   rawType: 'invalid_request_error',   code: undefined,   param: 'source',   message: 'token is not supported.',   detail: undefined,   raw:     { type: 'invalid_request_error',      message: 'token is not supported.',      param: 'source',      statusCode: 400,      requestId: 'req_7hzY3mEgeM3nNJ' },   requestId: 'req_7hzY3mEgeM3nNJ',   statusCode: 400 } 

I've pretty much just used code straight out of the docs, what am I doing wrong here? Do I need to set things up differently for creating a customer when doing a subscription?

Found the answer on Stripe's IRC channel: It's not mentioned in the official docs, but Stripe is expecting the token ID, rather than the full token itself.

Simply passing source: stripeToken.id solved the problem for me.
