Just reading through your flow.

#

My first thought would be to create the Customer first, then use a Setup Intent to both collect Payment Method details and attach the PM to the Customer in one API request.

#

We discuss that here https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

#

Oh wait.

#

Actually I think you can do it all when creating the subscription.

#

You can?

#

by all, what are you referring to?

river sentinel Oct 17, 2022, 5:16 PM

#

Sorry, not all

#

But when you create the Subscription you can configure it to link the Payment Method used and set that as the default payment method.

You would use this parameter https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create?event_types-payment_intent.payment_failed#create_subscription-payment_settings-save_default_payment_method

#

so this would just remove one step (setting paymentMethodId as default for customer)

#

👋

#

Stepping in as Snufkin needs to step away

#

Yes

#

You can set the default payment method via the above setting when you create the Sub

#

So you don't have to do that extra step

#

Can we add billing details to the paymentMethod at the same time as creating the subscription as well?

sly citrus Oct 17, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

You add billing details to the PaymentMethod when you collect the PaymentMethod

#

What integration are you using?

#

Sounds like Card Element potentially?

stark ridge Oct 17, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

Yes the card element

#

Trying to figure out how to make our endpoint much faster/optimized

sly citrus Oct 17, 2022, 5:28 PM

#

Yep so with Card Element you can pass billing details via confirmCardPayment https://stripe.com/docs/js/payment_intents/confirm_card_payment#stripe_confirm_card_payment-with_element-payment_method-billing_details

#

got it, makes sense

#

i think we can cut our requests by half

#

thanks for the help

sly citrus Oct 17, 2022, 5:33 PM

#

Sure thing

stark ridge Oct 17, 2022, 5:36 PM

#

Is a paymentMethod attached to a customer automatically if you create a subscription with a payment method?

#

or do we need to separately attach the paymentMethod to the customer prior to creating the subscription?
