hello! The guides listed on this page provide more details on Stripe Subscriptions : https://docs.stripe.com/subscriptions. I can't tell you what to save in your DB since it depends on your requirements. If you have more specific questions, I'd be happy to help.
sharp stag
alright, actually i have some other questions
when a user already subscribe to my product, is that possible for the user to change their payment method or card?
hidden raven
yes, it's possible, you can look into using the Stripe Customer Portal for that : https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management and see if it fits your requirements / use cases
sharp stag
that is using billing portal right?
hidden raven
yep
sharp stag
if the user add a new payment method like i screenchot. Will the bill automatically go to the default payment method?
hidden raven
yes, the bill will be charged to the default payment method. In case you haven't seen this yet, you can use test clocks to mimic the passing of time : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/testing/test-clocks to test and make sure everything works as expected
sharp stag
ohh thanks for the test clocks. will try it later
but for update the payment method for the user. Is using the billing portal (redirect to stripe hosted page) the only way to change the payment method?

No you can also update the payment method through API. https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update?lang=dotnet#update_subscription-default_payment_method
