tymm - invoce

[compact fox]

Hello there, happy to help

[royal summit]

Hi, i have confirmed the first paymentintent with a paymentmethod, and am expecting the subsequent recurring invoice to use the same paymentmethod, how do i achieve that?

[compact fox]

So the invoice has failed because your customer doesn't have a default payment method and the subscription neither doesn't have a default payment method

[royal summit]

yeah but i have added a payment method for the customer and used that to pay for the first invoice upon the creation of the subscription

[compact fox]

to solve this, you have two choices:

• Set a default payment method to the customer: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object#customer_object-invoice_settings-default_payment_method
• Save the payment method as default to the susbscription when creating it https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_settings-save_default_payment_method

[compact fox]

Yes in indeed the customer has a payment method but it's not set as default

[royal summit]

ok so if i set savedefaultpaymentmethod to ON_SUBSCRIPTION, will it update the customer's default payment method?

ok after reading the doc again i think it will be applied only to that subscription

lemme try it out

thanks

[compact fox]

No, it wont update the customer's default payment method, it will apply only to the subscirption. You should set a default payment method to the customer as mentioned above https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object#customer_object-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

[royal summit]

yeah no because im letting customers to choose which card to use when they create new subscriptions, so im good with just applying the default on subscription-basis

OK so! Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!
