Laravel 6.0 Stripe: Must provide source or customer

Question

I'm trying to process a credit card payment and I get this error: Must provide source or customer.

I'm not sure what Stripe means by this and I've tried the solution posted here: Stripe: Must provide source or customer

public function store(Request $request)
    {
        try {
            $charge = Stripe::charges()->create([
                // 'amount' => getNumbers()->get('newTotal') / 100,
                'currency' => 'UK',
                'source' => $request->stripeToken,
                'description' => 'Thank you for your purchase.',
                'receipt_email' => $request->email,
                'customer' => $request->email, 
                'metadata' => [
                    // 'contents' => $contents,
                    'quantity' => Cart::count(),
                ],
            ]);

            Cart::destroy();

            return redirect()->route('confirmation.index')->with('success_message', 'Thank you! Your payment has been successfully accepted!');
        } catch (CardErrorException $e) {
            return back()->withErrors('Error! ' . $e->getMessage());
        }
    }

As you can see, I do have a source and a customer. If I change the $customer property to equal something like 'person', Stripe will return this: No such customer: person

What exactly am I doing wrong here?

EDIT: The library I'm using is cartalyst/stripe-laravel: https://github.com/cartalyst/stripe-laravel

Thanks

From Stripe documentation, i can see that after the submit they are using "\Stripe\Charge::create([...])"... which library are you using? — Alberto Sinigaglia, Dec 08 '19 at 02:03
ah well customer must ve a Stripe/custoer element (the token of a that object), this oen https://cartalyst.com/manual/stripe/2.0#customers — Alberto Sinigaglia, Dec 08 '19 at 17:50
@AlbertoSinigaglia Something like this: $customer = $stripe->customers()->create([ 'email' => 'john@doe.com', ]); echo $customer['id']; — , Dec 08 '19 at 20:11
After I included this: ```$stripe = new Stripe(); $stripe = Stripe::make('secretKey');``` — , Dec 12 '19 at 04:44
