Hi 👋
Do you have an example Invoice ID I could review?
atomic flint
I might, give me a moment, I am not certain it will have one because it won't create the invoice, but I mightr have a call id
the Request ID is
req_Kx4EH6xhlkRJfu
crisp cypress
Taking a look at the request.
atomic flint
thanks
crisp cypress
Ah, you are using the /pay API. That is only for invoices with a specified payment method. If you want to trigger sending the Invoice email, you need to use the Send API: https://docs.stripe.com/api/invoices/send
atomic flint
Didn't see that in the docs.... somehow
Thanks for that
I am voiding those invoics and letting the customers know what happened because they were expecting to auto charge... on a related note, if customer clicks "save payment for future transactions" on a payment link, why isn't that labeled as the default payment method?
crisp cypress
We automatically set the saved PM as the default for invoices if the payment method is saved as part of the initial payment for a subscription. Otherwise it is up to your code to set the new payment method as default for the customer.
atomic flint
That is the case for these customers but my system is saying they don't have a default payment method.
For example

Do you see an issue with how I am looking for the payment method here that would prevent that from happening?
crisp cypress
I see a payment_method.attached event for the customer that shows the payment method was attached but it does not appear to be set as the Invoice default

exactly, why is that?

👋 stepping in here
atomic flint
Nice thanks. sorry for that delay on responding to the last message
simple nacelle
No worries.
It does look like that Subscription has the PaymentMethod that was initially used set as the default as expected. You can see that here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/subscriptions/sub_1PxxaqIlmlJhoaqYfrHoRHsQ
However, that PaymentMethod is set as the default for the Subscription, not the Customer. If you want to use the /pay endpoint without passing the PaymentMethod ID then it would have to be set at the Customer level via invoice_settings.default_payment_method
atomic flint
Ok but how can we make payment links set a payment method the default payment method for a customer?
simple nacelle
You would have to build that yourself using Webhooks. So after the Checkout Session was completed you would update the Customer using: https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

Glad to hear it!
