Could you please share the customer id?
worldly sapphire
Thanks for sharing it
So you should update your customer and set a invoice_settings.default_payment_method
you can refer to this link for further details
https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

i do not have the payment method id. I am initializing the payment sheet which automatically generator the payment method on stripe and process the payment.
How do i get the payment method Id ?
invoice_settings.default_payment_method needs the payment method Id but i do not have it.
How can i get it ?
worldly sapphire
You can use the API that List a customer's payment methods
https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/customer_list
fair folio
how do we know that user select and user which payment method in the payment sheet ?
worldly sapphire
Do you have a screenshot on your paymentsheet please?
mortal pine
ok makes sense
so no, you don't need to set a default_payment_mehtod
instead you should create the subscription and pass payment_behavior:default_incomplete like we mention in the docs
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements#create-subscription
customer: customerId,
items: [{
price: priceId,
}],
payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete', // <----
payment_settings: { save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription' }, // <---
expand: ['latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
});
cool cool
but yep, the idea is the same as in that doc ( https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements), we just don't cover mobile apps specifically.
but the idea is you create the subscription in the 'incomplete' status, then you pass the PaymentIntent from that Subscription to the frontend app; the app confirms the PaymentIntent using the PaymentSheet, and that saves the card the customer used and sets it as a default.

okay so you mean we have to call the subscription api before open payment sheet ?

Hi! I'm taking over this thread.
fair folio
k;
craggy skiff
Yes, you first create the subscription on the backend, and then use the subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent for the PaymentSheet.
fair folio
where do i have to pass these parameters ?
craggy skiff
Which parameters? You need the payment_intent.client_secret to initialize the PaymentSheet: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=android&ui=payment-sheet#android-collect-payment-details
fair folio
subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent
these parameters.
where do i have to pass them ?
craggy skiff
When you create the subscription, you get subscription.latest_invoice.payment_intent.client_secret. Then you pass them to the PaymentSheet as shown here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=android&ui=payment-sheet#android-collect-payment-details

bronze smelt
what webhook events are you listening to?
fair folio
there is no any webhook
i am using it on phone
i am creating a subscription with incomplete payment and then passing the payment intent secret to the payment sheet but still payment status for subscription is incompete
mortal pine

fair folio
sub_1LQWpCR1SG2Iic1Y7o96LArd

doesn't look like you confirmed the PaymentIntent.
and then passing the payment intent secret to the payment sheet
yep, and then you should be entering a card in the payment sheet and submitting the payment. Are you not doing that?
fair folio
yes i am retrieving customer's saved card and select and pay for it
here you can see this
mortal pine
and what happens when you hit the Pay button in that UI?
fair folio
success
mortal pine
you're confirming the wrong PaymentIntent
if you check what you're doing, you create a PaymentIntent(which you don't need to do), and you create a Subscription. Then on the frontend you are confirming that PaymentIntent you created, instead of the latest_invoice.payment_intent, which is what you should be doing instead.
fair folio
you mean i do not have to create the payment intent
on subscription object i receive a payment intent secret id which i have to pass to the payment sheet
right ?
mortal pine
you mean i do not have to create the payment intent
correct
mortal pine
on subscription object i receive a payment intent secret id which i have to pass...
correct
that's what we've been saying and the docs describe

When you create the subscription, you get `subscription.latest_invoice.payment_i...
