Hi there,
Let me take a look
One question about your first question. What exactly do you mean by I want to make sure that the payment method is not limited to the one I specify here. ?
chilly ice
I specify the payment method there. But I just want to use what the customers default payment is
I dont want to run into any future problems by specifying just the one payment method
dry lotus
Ok good that makes sense. So in that case it makes even sense to not set the default_payment_method on the Subscription creation because if not set, Invoices will use the customer’s invoice_settings.default_payment_method or default_source.
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-default_payment_method
But also the customer can also change their payment method for the Subscription in the Billing Customer Portal in the future too https://docs.stripe.com/customer-management#:~:text=and business information.-,Payment methods,-Manage payment methods

Awesome what about if I leave payment_method_types empty
dry lotus
It's optional, so instead of "leaving it empty", you can just skip/omit entirely. Stripe will automatically determine the types to use by looking at the invoice’s default payment method, the subscription’s default payment method, the customer’s default payment method, and your invoice template settings.

Great! Lastly what do you suggest for payment_behavior. I read all of the options and am still confused. For reference my flow is
- Payment intent for $1
- Use that customer to create a subscription
dry lotus
Well the payment_behavior depends on what you actually want to accomplish. For example why do you create a $1 Payment Intent?
chilly ice
To verify the card
dry lotus
Ok, instead of using Payment Intent, creating a Setup Intent is the recommended approach. Even though it's not directly mentioning React Native for the frontend, you can still follow along this guide : https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse
