hello! Either the default_payment_method on the Subscription or the Customer is used. The Subscription's default_payment_method takes precedence. There's no quick and easy way to query this data from Stripe. You should save these details to your own DB to query for

Oh okay. Don't we need to check the payment_method field from latest_invoice's payment intent field in any case?
Looking at the default_payment_method of subscription & customer is sufficient, you mean?
untold cypress
what's your reasoning for checking the latest_invoice's payment intent?
versed epoch
When I reached to stripe discord last week to know which fields to refer for payment method used by subscription for billing, they responded as below,
Usually you'd look at default_payment_method Otherwise if that isn't set, you'd check on latest_invoice[payment_intent][payment_method] level to see how payment was made
untold cypress
I think the requirements here needs to be clarified - do you need to know the current default_payment_method set? Or do you need to know what was used to pay an invoice for a subscription?
A customer can pay an invoice with a different payment method than what was actually set as the default_payment_method. For example, maybe payment for an invoice failed and the customer used a different card to make payment, but didn't actually update the default_payment_method with that new card
versed epoch
I want to know the payment method which will be automatically charged for the next billing cycles by stripe
In the example case you mentioned in your message, the default payment method will be used for the next billing cycle?
untold cypress
then what i said is applicable, check the default_payment_method on the Subscription or the Customer. You don't need to check on latest_invoice[payment_intent][payment_method]
In the example case you mentioned in your message, the default payment method will be used for the next billing cycle?
yes
versed epoch
Only if a customer updates default_payment_method, the updated payment method will be used for the upcoming billing cycles. Am I correct?
untold cypress
yep, that's correct
