Hi there! Right, updating the subscription's default_payment_method will not change or update the payment method that's already associated with an invoice's PaymentIntent

#

so what should I do? any doc directions?

You'll want to update the payment_method on the invoice's PaymentIntent. This should move the PaymentIntent back to the 'requires_confirmation' state. Then, you'll want to confirm the PI, which will allow the charge to succeed

well but in the second case I have a card that doesn't require verification. so what should I do in that case

#

?

I don't think I follow. I understand the 4242 test card doesn't require verification but in the flow above, you've already linked the 3220 card to the invoice's PaymentIntent.

#

You'll need to update the PI with the new card

#

so it isn't enough to update the "default_source" of the subscription ☹️

#

that's right, that will only affect new invoices going forward

@copper topaz I have a similar flow to yours. What we do when the new CC is added is just call https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay with the new payment_method ID for each unpaid invoice on the subscription
