Django Stripe library is having trouble with Payment Method

I am using Stripe JS on my front end, and sending it to my backend, which is based on Django.

All of generating a subscription is working, except for the payment method. Here's the code:

class PurchaseSubscriptionView(APIView):          def post(self, request, user_id):          price_name = request.data.get("price_name")          payment_method = request.data.get("payment_method")          user = User.objects.get(id=user_id)            customer, created = djstripe.models.Customer.get_or_create(subscriber=user)          customer.add_payment_method(payment_method)          price = djstripe.models.Price.objects.get(nickname=price_name)          customer.subscribe(price=price)          return Response({"success": "eventual subscription data"})  

My payment_method looks like this (all of this is fake card data):

{     "id":"pm_1Ia7gGJs57u3g5HDEpaI5Pv2",     "object":"payment_method",     "billing_details":{        "address":{           "city":"None",           "country":"None",           "line1":"None",           "line2":"None",           "postal_code":"None",           "state":"None"        },        "email":"None",        "name":"None",        "phone":"None"     },     "card":{        "brand":"visa",        "checks":{           "address_line1_check":"None",           "address_postal_code_check":"None",           "cvc_check":"None"        },        "country":"US",        "exp_month":2,        "exp_year":2022,        "funding":"credit",        "generated_from":"None",        "last4":"4242",        "networks":{           "available":[              "visa"           ],           "preferred":"None"        },        "three_d_secure_usage":{           "supported":true        },        "wallet":"None"     },     "created":1616972764,     "customer":"None",     "livemode":false,     "type":"card"  }  

However upon this line:

customer.add_payment_method(payment_method)  

I get the following error:

TypeError: quote_from_bytes() expected bytes  

What exactly am I missing here? Is this not how I am supposed to use a payment method?

This is using the Djstripe library
