Step 2 - Create a funding source for a Customer using a plaidToken #

This step assumes you’ve created a Customer for the user that you’ve authenticated or will authenticate with Plaid. Using the processor_token obtained from the previous step, you’ll pass this in as the value of the plaidToken request parameter; along with a funding source name in the request to create a funding source for a Customer.

var customerUrl =
  "https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/customers/AB443D36-3757-44C1-A1B4-29727FB3111C";
var requestBody = {
  plaidToken: "processor-sandbox-161c86dd-d470-47e9-a741-d381c2b2cb6f",
  name: "Jane Doe’s Checking",
};

dwolla
  .post(`${customerUrl}/funding-sources`, requestBody)
  .then((res) => res.headers.get("location")); // => 'https://api-sandbox.dwolla.com/funding-sources/375c6781-2a17-476c-84f7-db7d2f6ffb31'

Obtain a funding source URL that belongs to the Customer #

Once you’ve received a successful response from the API, you’ll use the unique funding source URL to identify the Customer’s bank when initiating ACH transfers.
