Charge fails with INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR

[Timofey]

On back we have such flow:

• Get nonce from the frontend
• Create customer
• Create card for the customer and gotten nonce

CreateCustomerCardRequest cardRequest = new CreateCustomerCardRequest().cardNonce(cardNonce);
customersApi.createCustomerCard(customerId, cardRequest);

• Make a charge with such request

Customer customer = customersApi.retrieveCustomer(clientDetails.getCustomerId()).getCustomer();
ChargeRequest chargeRequest = new ChargeRequest()
        // all set fields are required for charging via TransactionAPI
        .customerId(customer.getId())
        .customerCardId(customer.getCards().iterator().next().getId())
        .billingAddress(clientDetails.getAddress().convertToSquareAddress())
        .buyerEmailAddress(clientDetails.getEmail())
        .idempotencyKey(idempotencyKey)
        .amountMoney(preparePaymentAmount(clientAmount, request.getCurrency()))
        .note(shorten(clientDetails.getDescription()));

 The charge request fails with exception:

com.squareup.connect.ApiException: {"errors":[{"category":"INVALID_REQUEST_ERROR","code":"NOT_FOUND","detail":"Card on file `ccof:aVQ2nH9JALqLueJW3GB` for customer `TXSP1QJSFGTPV72CKAYR0SFXQR` not found.","field":"customer_card_id"}]}

 Help please. It seams to be a very common flow.

We make such calls not for our account but for merchant accounts that give us access by OAuth.

This code worked well before 2020-10-22 00:00 UTC.

Hey @Timofey,

I reached out to our API Team and they said there was an issue with card on file that the team fixed today that was causing this error.

All should be working now!
