@unique token You can only do this on the server using your Secret API key and calling the Update Customer API https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/update

Is there an example of updating the PaymentMethod on the server via the Update Customer API available?

Ok so looking at that snippet that is what I am doing after the first invoice.payment_succeeded with billing_reason = subscription_create. So I guess what I am asking is there a way to create a new PaymentMethod via the PaymentElement and then associate it with the Customer? And then on the server -- maybe listening to the payment_method.attached webhook -- then use API to set the default payment method like in the snippet example you just provided?

You use SetupIntents to collect a brand new card and then once it succeeds you can update the Customer to make that new card the default

Ah perfect! I see, so when I am calling the PaymentElement JS framework using the Subscirption's PaymentIntent clientSecret in the JS it sets up a SetupIntent in the background for the recurring charges. So I just need to create a new SetupIntent and use that objects client's secret for the PaymentElement? Also I want to set the usage to off_session correct? Any other settings needed?

👋 Taking over this thread, catching up now

Yup! You will create a Setup Intent with usage as off_session to collect new payment method, then set the newly collected payment method as default to the subscription
