What exactly did you do to trigger this Event? payment_intent.payment_failed only happens after a payment attempt failed so if your Customer has no PaymentMethod saved for example there would be no real payment attempt and only invoice.payment_failed would be sent

I added test card 4000000000000341 (Decline after attaching) to subscription as payment method and wait for next billing cycle
manic siren
Did you make that card the defaut payment method for that Subscription or the Customer though?
silent oriole
I added this card to the Subscription
manic siren
I'm sorry this is super vague. Can I ask you to be a lot more explicit about exactly what you did with your code as a developer?
silent oriole
Sure. I have application that uses Stripe API. From my app I bought Subscription with valid card (4242) using Stripe checkout and session created in my app. After this successful first payment I changed card in Subscription from 4242 to 0341 in Stripe Dashboard. And I wait next billing cycle.

is that specific PaymentMethod the default? I assume it's not and that's potentially your issue
silent oriole
In Subscription this is a default payment method, but in Customer - this PM also added, but not as default

Hi there 👋 taking over, as my colleague needs to step away
Give me a few minutes to get caught up.
Is there a reason not to listen for invoice.payment_failed in this case, since there will always be an invoice related to a subscription payment?
silent oriole
Listening for 'invoice.payment_failed" was my first implementation 🙂 but, in this event there is no information about "what is wrong with payment"
In "invoice.payment_failed" there is a link to Payment Intent and I tried to fetch PI to get info about payment error, but sometimes PI is not updated to this moment and did not contains info about payment error
lilac niche
If you're fetching a PI that's related to an invoice.payment_failed Event, then I would expect the PI to have the latest up-to-date info. Are you saying that wasn't the case?
silent oriole
In some cases this PI does not contains "last_payment_error". I'm not sure, probably this is fine for up-to-date info.
lilac niche
That's liley expected, since not all invoice.payment_failed Events are generated from actual payment attempts (e.g. payments/authorizations that actually go out to the card issuer and receive a decline). Sometimes this will fail if there was no default payment method to charge at the invoice's due date.
silent oriole
So, how can I get an error code in this cases?
lilac niche
What error code?
silent oriole
last_payment_error
If something goes wrong with payment - where can I get details about it?
lilac niche
If last_payment_error isn't present, then you would just check the status of the invoice (https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration/workflow-transitions) and confirm that a default payment method is set on the customer/subscription before retrying.

Okey, got it. Will try to implement. Thank you!
