HI 👋
Can you share an API request ID that returns this error message? It will start with req_
Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

And you don't retrieve it through the customer like we show here? https://stripe.com/docs/api/cards/retrieve
quasi aurora
No, we're looking for the default cardin the customer object.
$customer->invoice_settings->default_payment_method
After creating the source and attaching to the customer object can I set it as the default payment method?
verbal sand
Yes you can
quasi aurora
verbal sand
No, that isn't what is going on here.
You would want to update the Customer object directly after you attach the source, to set the newly attached source as the default_payment_method
However, why are you working with Sources at all? These won't be optimally configured for recurring charges
quasi aurora
I'm attempting to run though various scenarios by programmatically creating a sample customer on a test clock. It just takes a long time to create one through the dashboard.
verbal sand
Oh, okay.
quasi aurora
We don't work with sources on the production site but I want to emulate a customer in a test environment.
verbal sand
If you use the same tok_ test PM, you can pass both the payment_method and invoice_settings.default_payment_method parameters when creating Customers
verbal sand
I just ran a test script I have for creating a Customer with a test clock (it comes up a lot in scripting Subscription tests).
Here is the payload I'm passing to the API
{
payment_method: "pm_card_visa",
test_clock: "clock_1XXXXXXXXX",
email: "testy-test@example.com",
description: "Test clock customer",
invoice_settings: {
default_payment_method: "pm_card_visa",
},
name: "Clocky McClockerton",
}
The weird thing is that it looks like it's already set as the default card.
Thanks for that code block.
verbal sand
When you retrieve the customer, do you see the card in the invoice_settings.default_payment_method?
quasi aurora
That method of attaching a test card to the customer object works well. Thank you very much for your help today.
verbal sand
Great! I'm glad I was able to help 🙂
