Hi! Let me help you with this.

#

What do you mean by "future payment intent" exactly?

whole jay Aug 23, 2023, 9:32 AM

#

I need to create and charge customer using payment intent object. This process happens in the background and customer is not in checkout flow

#

For this I need to set default payment method

pliant briar Aug 23, 2023, 9:33 AM

#

You can collect a PaymentMethod and attach it to a Customer for future use, with a SetupIntent: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

#

When you create a PaymentIntent in the future, you attach the Customer and the saved PaymentMethod.

#

yes but what is the best way to set certain payment method as default one in Stripe?

pliant briar Aug 23, 2023, 9:34 AM

#

What do you mean by that? Default for a specific Customer?

#

customer A has 4 cards on his stripe account. I want to set 3rd card as a default one.

#

What's the best way to set and also retrieve it as a default payment method

#

You there?

#

You can't set a default PM for PaymentIntents, only for Invoices: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

#

OK how about default_source property of customer

pliant briar Aug 23, 2023, 9:41 AM

#

For PaymentIntents, you will need to explicitly set the PaymentMethod, but you can just take the one from Customer's invoice_settings.default_payment_method.

#

whole jay OK how about default_source property of customer

Sources are the same but a legacy concept.

whole jay Aug 23, 2023, 9:45 AM

#

So invoice_settings.default_payment_method is the best way to store default payment method?

#

for anything?

pliant briar Aug 23, 2023, 9:45 AM

#

Yes, just note that for PaymentIntents you will still need to set it explicitly.

whole jay Aug 23, 2023, 9:46 AM

#

True. Understood.

#

SO best way would be to set it in invoice_settings.default_payment_method and get it while payment intent

pliant briar Aug 23, 2023, 9:48 AM

#

Yes

whole jay Aug 23, 2023, 9:48 AM

#

Thank you

#

Also will it be ok if I set default payment method id in default_source property of customer?

pliant briar Aug 23, 2023, 9:50 AM

#

No, Sources is a legacy concept so I would refrain from using it in new integrations. It might be deprecated at any time.

whole jay Aug 23, 2023, 9:52 AM

#

OK thank you.
