By payment method, are you referring to a specific payment method that is on file and not the type of payment method?
hardy marsh
Yes sorry, not the payment method type, in this case the customer has for example 5 different payment methods as customer saved in his profile, and now I'd like to offer him the option to select another payment method for a single subscription.
Subscription 1 = PayPal
Subscription 2 = Credit Card
etc.
Just wondering..

Ok, thanks for clarifying. You'll be unable to limit it to a specific payment method, based on the ID. However, you can restrict it to a certain type. For example, Subscription 1 can be restricted to only PayPal:
Stripe::Subscription.update(
'sub_49ty4767H20z6a',
{payment_settings: {payment_method_types: ['paypal']}},
)
Subscription 2 will then look like this:
Stripe::Subscription.update(
'sub_49ty4767H20z6a',
{payment_settings: {payment_method_types: ['card']}},
)
Ah okay no problem, thank you for clarifying this! I was just curious if there is any possibility, but that's fine. 🙂

The drawback is you will not be able to specify the specific account if the customer has multiple cards for example.
hardy marsh
Yes no problem tho, I will stick by the standards 🙂 Thanks a lot for reaching out! Have a nice day / evening here 🙂

One thing you can do is specify the default_payment_method via the API by passing the Payment Method ID you want used for the subscription [0].
[0] https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-default_payment_method

But, wouldn't that mean, that I could pass the payment method id the customer has, to a single subscription - like just what I've expected from beginning? I'm a bit confused 😄
