I think it should always be a source. Sources can be used as payment methods but payment methods can't be used by sources. Do you have an event where you think this happened?

#

I'm wondering if I have an ID of whatever object comes through from that event, how am I able to look it up by ID?

#

Stripe::Source.retrieve?

#

Will that retrieve the correct source object type?

#

Yes it should as far as I know

#

I'm guessing it could be a PaymentMethod, Source, Card, etc... but I need a universal way to look up the object sent with the customer.source.updated event by ID

#

I thought card_ objects were also a kind of source, are you getting an error when you try to retrieve them with that endpoint?

#

I am not, I'm just making sure that a Source is the generic object of all of these different types of stripe payment objects.

Our doc lists that event type as a source (and lists card as a subtype of source) https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types#event_types-customer.source.updated

Stripe API reference – Types of events – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

So you should be able to retrieve any object from that event with the source retrieve function. Payment Methods are a different kind of object so you won't get them in that event and won't be able to look them up with that method
