Hi 👋 the Customer Portal is the only prebuilt solution offer that is coming to mind which would allow you to do that.
https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management
You will definitely need to create a Customer object before a new customer is able to use this feature, but I don't think they need to have an active Subscription.
Just confirmed the customer doesn't need to have a Subscription to be able to access a link you generate to the Customer Portal for them.
One question though, when you say app, are you referring to create a mobile application or a web application?

web application

Perfect! (Just wanted to make sure I shouldn't be offering mobile-centric solutions)

ok so i'd have to look through this then to get it setup? https://docs.stripe.com/api/customer_portal/configurations
would there be React components to use for the customer portal? we currently use the react-stripe-js package to capture a customer's CC info

Our guide for integrating this with our API is linked from the doc I shared previously, and can be found here:
<https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management/integrate-customer-portal?
No, we do not provide the Customer Portal as a React component. It's only offered as a hosted solution that you would redirect your customers to, away from your app.
But it's not the first time I've heard that ask, and will file feedback for our product team to consider building that support in the future.

and just to confirm, besides the customer portal, there is no other programatic way to generate a link for customers?
weak ridge
Not for managing payment methods, no.
