The card used ends in 1117 but it is not saved to the customer payment method. I want to save the card for future auto payment for the auto extended booking.

Hi 👋 you need to set a value for the setup_future_usage parameter on the Payment Intent then:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-setup_future_usage
You can do that either when creating or confirming the intent.

For reference, here's our guide for saving payment method details while also processing a payment:

why the ID saved is pm_1Q03DmRudNHJ72xw7KTygo3m

#

it should be in this format card_1Q01XQRudNHJ72xwTz5mPeVn

#

No it shouldn't be. You're creating a Payment Method object and those have a pm_ prefix for their ID.

devout pecan Sep 17, 2024, 3:27 PM

#

But is there a way to save the card id?

jovial ocean Sep 17, 2024, 3:29 PM

#

No, you're creating Payment Method objects, there is no card ID to be saved.

#

But the problem here when I set the a card to default for those cards that has pm_ prefix for their ID, I got an error.

It's hard to say for sure since that is a UI provided by Bubble that I'm not familiar with, but it looks like you're updating the wrong field on the Customer object. Seems like you're updating default_source instead of invoice_settings.default_payment_method:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

invoice_settings.default_payment_method takes priority over default_source, so you don't have to worry about clearing out default_source when using a Payment Method instead.

how to save a card that the id will have a prefix of pm_

jovial ocean Sep 17, 2024, 3:48 PM

#

Sorry, not sure I'm following. Isn't that exactly what is happening? It's what you're already doing. You're creating a Payment Method with a type of card.

Right now I have 2 options to save the payment method. First option is to save it just by adding a card which has a card_ prefix saved. The second is saving the method after the payment which has a pm_ prefix. But when I try to set default card that has card_ prefix, it doesn't work. So I need to have all the cards to have a prefix of pm_

#

@devout pecan The "prefix" as you say is based on how you wrote your entire integration. So the first step is to understand that as the developer building this.

devout pecan Sep 17, 2024, 4:01 PM

#

I got it now, I should use invoice_settings.default_payment_method not the default_source when setting a default card.

correct

Thanks @jovial ocean and @somber otter for the help.
