No you can't specify payment when creating a Checkout Session.

Could you explain a bit what you are trying to achieve? so that I may suggest you another alternative

i want to basically update the payment method for a user and set as failed card so that i can test recurring payment and basically get reponse for recurring failed payment

user set to recurring payment -> 1st time succesfully paid then update his payment methods to failed card then when 2nd recurring date is coming i want to catch response for failed payment

[ionic sable]

I think one option could be using one of these decline token:
https://stripe.com/docs/testing?testing-method=payment-methods#declined-payments

for example you can udpate the subscription to use this pm pm_card_visa_chargeDeclined after the first successfull attempt

[waxen basin]

yes but how do i do that? when i try doing it it gives a error

[ionic sable]

Can you share the ID (req_xxx) of the failing API request?

[waxen basin]

just a min

[ionic sable]

You can make this API update:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-default_payment_method

[waxen basin]

ive tried this but it says no previous default payment is found

as im getting a response null in create checkout session object

for default payment

[ionic sable]

Can you share the requestId ?

[waxen basin]

yes

i cant find the exact req id but it was this error message:
stripeinvalidrequesterror: no such payment method: 'pm_card_visa charge declined'

when i try to update subscription

[ionic sable]

It seems that you API client is formatting the string, it is pm_card_visa_chargeDeclined without spaces.

[waxen basin]

can i know if i can set a default payment methd while creating checkout session

and then update it to check failed payment response

[ionic sable]

I told you no, you can't.

You can set the default payment method when creating the subscription

[waxen basin]

so i do this

const session = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
customer: customer.id,
items: [{ price: "price_1NXgO" }],
default_payment_method: pm_card_visa,
});

created a subscription api

but it gives this error {"error":{"message":"pm_card_visa is not defined"}}

[ionic sable]

you are missing quotes default_payment_method: "pm_card_visa"

[waxen basin]

i did try that

{"error":{"message":"No such PaymentMethod: 'pm_card_visa'"}}

[ionic sable]

Can you share the ID (req_xxx) of the failing API request?

Hi! I'm taking over from my colleague. Please, give me a moment to catch up.

You can't use these test cards on the Subscription. You have to add them to the Customer first.

[waxen basin]

so first i have to create that customer and add the test card?

[merry zealot]

Add the test card to the Customer, yes. You can add it when creating the Customer.
