Hi there 👋 when their mode is set to subscription the Checkout Session will attach the provided payment method as the default_payment_method for the Subscription that is created, but will not set it as the default payment method for the Customer.

Is there a way to make it the default payment methode for the customer?
We are needing this because we have a process where a cancel a usage subscription and create a new sub "normal" subscription but are getting the error that the user don't have a default payment method

There is not a setting to make that automatically, but you can build a process which handles it. You can use a webhook endpoint to listen for checkout.session.completed events, and then have your event handling code make a request to update the invoice_settings.default_payment_method field for your Customer:

I just checked the output but I cannot find default_payment_method in there, in the checkout.session.completed hook I can see the default_payment_method I will try this format should be "pm_" correct?

Hello 👋
Taking over as toby needs to step away

#

Yes the payment method object ID would start with pm_xxxx

Hey, thank you
I just read the docu from update a customer I dont really understand what is the different between default_source and default_payment_method?

daring prairie Oct 4, 2022, 2:38 PM

#

default_source is a parameter that was used for the old Sources API
PaymentMethod API was introduced to replace Sources API
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/transitioning

default_payment_method would refer to a PaymentMethod object

pallid condor Oct 4, 2022, 2:39 PM

#

OK so the new good way is using default_payment_method and not longer default_source if I understand that correct?

daring prairie Oct 4, 2022, 2:40 PM

#

That's correct.
