Hi, let me help you with this.
You should update the Customer's invoice_settings.default_payment_method, and set it to the PaymentMethod coming from the SetupIntent pm_xxx
willow sphinx
Thanks! So, when the customer is confirming the setup intent, I need to update the customer? Then I need to implement webhooks, right?
jade tapir
Correct.
willow sphinx
Okay, thank you very much! Is there also a possibility that the user creates the subscription and automatically adds the payment method to it's account? Or is it required to do the setup intent beforehand?
jade tapir
In the simplest form you don't need an extra SetupIntent: https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements
willow sphinx
Thanks. I will try it out! Maybe one more question: when the user has a payment method - how can I display it to the user? Is there a preconfigured UI element that can be used? The only elements I saw are used for actually paying/confirming something
jade tapir
Are you using Payment Element?
willow sphinx
Yep
jade tapir
There's a new feature that allows you to re-display saved Payment Methods: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-customer-payment-methods
willow sphinx
How I understand this, it is used for reusing existing payment methods, or?
What I mean is to show the customer that he already has a payment method. Something like "MasterCard: **** **** **** 0101"
jade tapir
You can then list Customer's PaymentMethods and display it in your own UI: https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods/customer_list
willow sphinx
Okay, but the rendering of each payment method needs to be custom implemented? Because there are a lot of payment methods and I wanted to be sure if there is already an existing UI element
jade tapir
There's no other built-in component, unfortunately.
willow sphinx
Alright, thanks for the info and thank you very much for your help!
jade tapir
Happy to help.
