Hi there!

#

No you'll need an extra API call to udpate the customer object: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:27 PM

#

If a user has no saved payment methods, and they want to add a default payment method, how would they do that then?

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:28 PM

#

Step 1: create a new PaymentMethod a SetupIntent and attach it on the customer
Step 2: set the customer.invoice_settings.default_payment_method with the new payment method

#

How will I get the payment method id?

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:30 PM

#

It will be in the SetupIntent: https://stripe.com/docs/api/setup_intents/object#setup_intent_object-payment_method

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:30 PM

#

Let me check, sorry. I didn't see it the first time.

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:30 PM

#

No worries.

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:31 PM

#

So will it be an id of a payment method object, right?

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:31 PM

#

The whole point of a SetupIntent is that it will create a PaymentMethod.

#

Correct

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:31 PM

#

For some reason, I keep thinking that it shows the id of a source

#

Aren't payment method id's in the form of "pm_123456789" and not "card_123456789"?

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:34 PM

#

Yes PaymentMethods are pm_xxx. But I think if you need a PaymentMethod ID and provide a card_xxx it should also work.

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:34 PM

#

May I have a second to test it out?

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:35 PM

#

Sure

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:35 PM

#

I'm asking this because my subscription flow has to account for two cases.

The user has entered a default payment method and the subscription will automatically bill the default payment method.
There are no saved payment methods and the user will have to enter their payment details during the purchase of the subscription.

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:36 PM

#

Oh you are using subscriptions? Then in this case you can set the PaymentMethod as default directly with this: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_settings-save_default_payment_method

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

Right, so this helps cover the case when users don't have any paymentmethods attached for they can enter their payment details and it'll automatically be saved as their default method.

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:41 PM

#

Yes

#

Let me know if that solves your issue or if you have other questions.

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:42 PM

#

May I ask another question?

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:43 PM

#

Sure!

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

This is a totally unrelated question, but my api key just stopped working while testing. It was working literally a couple minutes ago. Any ideas?

dry jungle Jan 20, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

What do you mean by "stopped working"? What's the error message you see?

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:45 PM

#

It's working now, oh

#

Ok so when I created the SetupIntent, I see that my payment_method field is set to null in the response.

coral prairie Jan 20, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:47 PM

#

Sure

#

Any questions you might have for me? I can better explain my situation if you'd like.

coral prairie Jan 20, 2023, 12:55 PM

#

sorry I'm just reading through

coral prairie Jan 20, 2023, 12:56 PM

#

mellow nexus Ok so when I created the SetupIntent, I see that my payment_method field is set ...

yes this is normal since a SetupIntent is by default meant to help you create/attach a Payment Method to a customer

mellow nexus Jan 20, 2023, 12:59 PM

#

This is what I expected, hence why I am not understanding what soma said.

#

If I want to extract the payment method id from the setupintent, then would that only be possible after the payment method is created?

#

Hmm, sorry if this looks bad but unfortunately I have to run. Should anything come up, I'll ask again later.

coral prairie Jan 20, 2023, 1:17 PM

yes that's correct

no worries
