Current Code in Go:
func (paymentHandler *PaymentHandler) updateSubscriptionToNewCustomer(customerSourceID, customerDestinationID, subscriptionID string) error {
timestamp := time.Now().Format("2006-01-02_15-04-05")
updateParams := &stripe.SubscriptionParams{
Customer: stripe.String(customerDestinationID),
Metadata: map[string]string{
fmt.Sprintf("transfer_ownership_%s", timestamp): fmt.Sprintf("Transferred this subscription from customerSourceID %s to customerDestinationID %s", customerSourceID, customerDestinationID),
},
}
_, err := subscription.Update(subscriptionID, updateParams)
if err != nil {
paymentHandler.Log.Error("Error transferring subscription to new owner", zap.Error(err))
return errors.New("error transferring subscription to new owner")
}
return nil

Hello, unfortunately we don't support switching the customer on a subscription at the moment. You could delete and recreate the subscription object with another customer object, but there isn't a way to copy the PaymentMethod that is paying for the subscription over, so it will typically require the other customer to enter payment method details

Hello, thanks for your time.
Currently I just attach the payment method as a default payment method to the stripe customer. Any subscription just takes the default payment then. So when switching the subscription to a new stripe customer he would need to add a payment method. That would not be the problem. But deleting and creating a new subscription is not ideal for me as the subscriptionID is used at many places for me.
There is no other workaround?

Unfortunately not, we don't have a way of keeping that subscription ID across customers. If it helps with a solution you can set your own ID as metadata on the subscription and could use that across subscriptions that you logically consider to be the same one.

Hm alright. Just a follow up question. Would it be a solution if a customer has more then one subscription then I deny the transfer of ownership but if he has only one subscription that I change the e-mail of that customer to the new owner? Would that bad practise?

Good point. Changing the info on the customer itself could be a viable workaround. Though yes that would make it tricky if you have two subscriptions but someone only wanted to change ownership on one. For that you may have to break in to multiple customers
shy cedar
It is fine if the customer has more then one subscription that he cannot transfer ownership. Will try this. Thank you very much for your time. Very much appriciate your awesome help.
This can be closed. 🙂 Have a nice evening.

Of course! Sorry we couldn't support your original usecase but I'm happy to hear it sounds like this is still workable for you
