I see the request goes to the customer endpoint but it has this weird annotation, not sure if this is possible using the official API
POST customers/<cus id>
default_source=<card id>&invoice_settings%5Bdefault_payment_method%5D=&expand%5B%5D=sources
Hello! Can you tell me a bit more about why you want to set the default? I want to make sure I provide you with the correct guidance.
If you're using Payment Methods you can set invoice_settings.default_payment_method on the Customer to specify the Payment Method which should be used by default for Invoices and Subscriptions: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

The Dashboard is also setting the default_source on the Customer for legacy/compatibility reasons, but the default_source is deprecated and we do not recommend using it.
urban orbit
i see
ahh yeah, well we have a small platform that allows users to save multiple payment methods to pay a subscription fee
so we need to allow users to choose one of the payment methods as the default for automatic changes
urban orbit
If you're using Payment Methods you can set `invoice_settings.default_payment_me...
let me take a look at this, i think this is what i was looking for, thank you 👍
so how that request goes?
i mean the payload?
like just
{"invoice_settings.default_payment_method": "source"} ?
upbeat raft
No. Are you using Node for this?
urban orbit
python
we went with a wrapper long ago https://pinax-stripe.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ but is doesn't fully support all the api calls so we had to fork it
we've been adding new stuff since then, but i haven't had the chance to make a PR to the original project
you know how this is
upbeat raft
Ah. Using our Python library it would be like this:
stripe.Customer.create(invoice_settings={"default_payment_method": "pm_123"})
guess update would be the same?
upbeat raft
You would also need to specify the Customer ID, but yep.
urban orbit
ahh did not work
Request req_kYWbtILFMVaGr5: Received unknown parameter: default_payment_method
You need to nest default_payment_method inside invoice_settings.
urban orbit
like this?
{"invoice_settings.default_payment_method": "card_1GaqlmHc53YL1FGYRSy6k128"}
No, it needs to be nested.
I don't know the exact Python syntax, but in JSON it would look like this:
"invoice_settings": {
"default_payment_method": "pm_123"
}
lemme see
🤔 not sure what i am doing wrong here
been a while since the last time i worked with stripe, been working smoothly for years now

Hi there 👋 taking over for @upbeat raft
Can you copy/past the request ID from that screenshot? Looks like req_abc123
urban orbit
hey
alright let me see, we are using the python wrapper so
not much room to maneuver here
let me see
pine surge
You can't copy/paste from the terminal where you took the screenshot?
urban orbit
oh wait!
url='/v1/customers/cus_H993pEVwBFDho0'
method='post'
params={'invoice_settings': {'default_payment_method': 'card_1GaqlmHc53YL1FGYRSy6k128', 'custom_fields': '', 'rendering_options': '', 'footer': ''}}
made a small correction and it went through this time 👏
thank you

pine surge
Will do!
