Hi there, since you are using the legacy Charges API, Stripe will look for the default_source of this customer and use it to charge the customer, However, this customer doesn't have a default_source set.

#

Oh ok. How can I set the default_source? I did set the card as the default card in the Stripe dashboard.

#

Thank you for the very fast response btw. One of my favorite things about stripe is the ability to get dev help quickly!

Thanks for the kind words.

#

You can set the default_source programmatically (https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-default_source), or through Dashboard. The Dashboard is currently still using Sources API but it might change to PaymentMethods API in the future.

#

Also I'd strongly suggest you to migrate to PaymentIntents API (https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-intents/migration), it offers much more features than Charges API and it's our recommended integration.

Yes - migration is already in progress. We should be done soon.

#

awesome, thanks for the guidance.

Happy to help. Since you are still on Charges API now, you can also specify a source (https://stripe.com/docs/api/charges/create#create_charge-source) when creating a charge if the customer doesn't have a default_source, or if you want to use a different source rather than the default_source .

Just to confirm, do I use the pm id as the default_source?

ebon glade Aug 25, 2023, 1:06 AM

#

No, a pm_xxx is a PaymentMethod, a Source has a resource ID that starts with src_

Card payments with Sources

Use Sources to accept card payments from around the world.

#

Ok, so if the card is already attached to the customer, can I create a new source from the same card using the CLI? I'm asking because I don't have the credit card information.
