I assume you're using Setup Intents?

#

Payment Element won't set the generated PM as the default no, so there'd likely be an additional API request to set that depending on your integration

#

Yes, using Setup Intents

#

What is the easier way to do that additional API request?

I'm allowing users to add multiple cards so maybe adding the last one as the default payment method?

#

(That last added card I mean)

Sure, you'd use this endpoint and param: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!

#

I have another question. I'm creating the customer before doing anything related with cards or payments. It is possible to set some "policy" about default payments when the customer is created?

sinful rivet Oct 7, 2022, 12:50 PM

#

could you please elaborate?

marsh bison Oct 7, 2022, 12:56 PM

#

My problem is that Setup Itents with Stripe Elements for adding new cards for customer is not setting the default payment method

#

So once a customer is adding a card and tries to pay for something the request fails with because there is not a default payment method

#

You colleague told me that an additional request is needed to set the card as default

#

My question is, there is an alternative way to set a different "policy" for a customer like "set the last card as default payment" instead of doing an specific and explicit request by customer?

sinful rivet Oct 7, 2022, 12:58 PM

#

unfortunately there isn't

marsh bison Oct 7, 2022, 12:59 PM

#

What is the common approach for these cases?

#

I guess this is something very common to avoid problem with recurring payments

sinful rivet Oct 7, 2022, 12:59 PM

#

there's another way of achieving this

marsh bison Oct 7, 2022, 12:59 PM

#

What people usually do to set the default payment?

sinful rivet Oct 7, 2022, 12:59 PM

#

but it won't be saved on the customer but instead on the subscription

marsh bison Oct 7, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

I see

sinful rivet Oct 7, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_settings-save_default_payment_method

marsh bison Oct 7, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

How is that done?

sinful rivet Oct 7, 2022, 1:00 PM

#

using this param

#

you can set it to on_subscription

#

and at that point if you want you can get the payment method ID and save it on the customer object as discussed previously with my colleague

marsh bison Oct 7, 2022, 1:01 PM

Ok, let me take a look
