Source

`Source` objects allow you to accept a variety of payment methods. They
represent a customer's payment instrument, and can be used with the Stripe API
just like a `Card` object: once chargeable, they can be charged, or can be
attached to customers.

Stripe doesn't recommend using the deprecated [Sources API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/sources).
We recommend that you adopt the [PaymentMethods API](https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods).
This newer API provides access to our latest features and payment method types.
