Hi 👋

What do you mean by "update client"? What are you trying to update here?

shell flume Dec 7, 2023, 9:52 PM

#

customer

#

not client

#

lets say customer wants to change their card

#

and customer has multiple subscription

modest patio Dec 7, 2023, 9:54 PM

#

Okay first question, have you explicitly set the default payment method on these subscriptions?

shell flume Dec 7, 2023, 9:56 PM

#

'payment_settings' => [
'save_default_payment_method' => 'on_subscription',
],

#

yup

modest patio Dec 7, 2023, 9:57 PM

#

In that case you would need to update each of the subscriptions.

#

One thing you should not do is use tokens. You should be using Payment Methods

#

I recommend using Setup Intents to create Payment Methods for your Customers

#

what are core differences 1 vs other (I am not disagreeing, just want to understand )

#

Tokens are a deprecated API that is more brittle and does not take advantage of optimizations we have made to ensure payment methods are properly configured for off-session payments.

#

Payment Methods are more likely to succeed when you charge them.

thanks

#

And when you create them using Setup Intents we configure them for off-session charging, including triggering 3DS if the issuing bank requires it.

#

So, once you use a Setup Intent to create & attach the payment method for the Customer I would recommend setting it as default in a few places

As the default Payment Method for the Customer object: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method
As the default for each Subscription for that Customer: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-default_payment_method
