Hello,
I'm adding a few more notes here:
Customer id with attached PM that was invoiced: cus_PgNxydQrm74Vsl
This is how I'm creating the invoice. Even tried directly attaching a default_payment_method to it, but it clearly does not work
And this is what I see in the hosted invoice page when going to pay
grim jungle
Can you share the customer ID you're working with here?
gentle spindle
cus_PgNxydQrm74Vsl
grim jungle
I don't know if hosted invoice page supports populating the default payment method.
Have you ever had this work before?
gentle spindle
It's stated in the documentation
So in case there is no way to do that -- what is the best way for me to use that payment method to pay the invoice? Just creating an endpoint that does that?
grim jungle
Can you share the documentation you're looking at?
grim jungle
I don't see a callout for it being populated in the hosted invoice page though
gentle spindle
Maybe has to do with the fact tha the type is charge automatically instead of send invoice?
grim jungle
Yeah, charge_automatically would attempt to pay the invoice by using the default_payment_method
gentle spindle
I'm trying with send_invoice instead. Let's see..
Same thing for this invoice type.. looks like it simply does not work
I checked the webhooks and default_payment_method is not being set when creating the invoice
grim jungle
But if the customer already has an attached default payment method, with charge_automatically you can immediately charge it. You don't need to set it separately on the invoice.default_payment_method and send your customers to hosted invoice page
grim jungle
As far as I know, that's for subscriptions related invoices only (could be wrong)
However, you can explicitly attempt the payment outside the collection schedule using the Pay an invoice API

gentle spindle
Okay right. I'll do that instead of the hosted invoice page then
Thank you very much for your help hanzo, have a great day
grim jungle
NP! 🙂 Happy to help
