I considered using a webhook to set the payment method to automatic after their first payment was received. But I thought it would be better if the user had the decision. Just lookin for some thoughts on the matter.

Hi, have you tested this yet? I did not think it was possible for the end customer to make this change when paying the invoice.

#

Let me test something

I have looked into and was not able to find any resources. I didn't know if I missed something. That was why I was asking.

#

Thank you

Makes sense, looking

Ok, I was able to test this end to end.

There is no way that the end user can make this change from their end. The hosted invoice page would just allow them to input their details to pay that invoice.

A work around is that you use our Customer Portal, https://stripe.com/docs/customer-management to collect payment method details. The payment method now becomes the default. Then, you'd need to update the subscription, https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-collection_method on your end to change the collection_method to charge_automatically.

Then, the subscription uses that default payment method to automatically charge the customer.

#

Let me know if you have any questions on this.
