Hi 👋 I would not recommend explicitly attaching Payment Methods in most cases, nor is it possible to "attach" a Payment Method to a Subscription.

How are you creating the Payment Methods that you intend to let your Customers use for their Subscriptions?

payment_settings: {
   save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription',
}
warm salmon
#

That sets the created Payment Method as the default Payment Method that the Subscription will use for payments.

prime cove
#

right, my question is should i turn this to off and use:

customers.update(customerId, {
  invoice_settings: {
    default_payment_method: paymentMethodId
}});
warm salmon
#

That's up to you. Do you want to set the new Payment Method as the default for all Subscriptions that belong to the Customer, or do you only want to use it for that one Subscription?

prime cove
#

What's the difference

#

why use one over the other

warm salmon
#

Setting the default payment method at the Customer object level uses that payment method as the default for every Subscription that doesn't have a default payment method explicitly set at the Subscription level.

Setting the default payment method at the Subscription level causes that payment method to only be used as the default for that single Subscription.

Which one you use depends on whether you want a default payment method per Subscription, or if you want a single payment method to be the default for all of the Customer's Subscriptions.

fine, thanks

warm salmon
#

Any time! Let me know if anything is still unclear, or what I'm describing doesn't seem to align with what you see when you're testing this behavior.

prime cove
#

one more quick question if that's okay...

#

If a default payment method is set on a subscription and the subscription ends is the payment method removed or does it stay linked to the customer?

warm salmon
#

It remains attached to the Customer unless a call is made to explicitly detach it.

okay, thanks for your help
