Hello!

@mild palm Please use the this thread I have open for you

You should be using default_payment_method. default_payment_method will take precedence over default_source (which is the older, legacy param we don't recommend using anymore) - we mention this in the API reference (https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-default_payment_method)

[mild palm]

Thank you!

Are we able to test this in test mode with this default_payment_method key?

The cards I'm using in test mode always output the **default_source ** key

[normal obsidian]

Yes, you should be able to use default_payment_method in test mode

[mild palm]

When I'm updating a PAST_DUE subscription's payment method, the subscription.updated event's previous attributes only show default_source

[normal obsidian]

Can you share one of those event IDs with me?

Ah, you're doing this through the dashboard , not the API?

[mild palm]

Correct through the Dashboard

[normal obsidian]

I don't know the details of the dashboard logic (it sometimes uses default_payment_method and sometimes uses default_source)

Backing up for a second - what is your handler doing? Are you checking the customer.subscription.updated event to see if the default has been updated and then paying the invoice if it's been changed?

[mild palm]

Correct

If the subscription is PAST_DUE and the default payment method has changed

[normal obsidian]

Gotcha - so then you need to be checking for ALL the places that can affect the default payment method/source

There's four (I know it's a lot):

• default_payment_method on the Subscription
• default_source on the Subscription
• invoice_settings.default_payment_method on the Customer
• default_source on the Customer
