Hi! Looking into your query!
Can I check why are you expecting the Invoice to be paid? Do you expect it to be paid with the existing payment method of the customer?
celest yacht
Yes I did expect it to be paid with the existing payment method
What I am trying to actually do is migrate from one stripe account to another account :
- I copied the customer data from one account to another account
- I created the product and prices on the new account using the API
- I am now getting the old subscription data from the old account -> using it to create a new subscription in the new account
I succeed in doing everything but the invoice stays open.

You are using payment_behavior: default_incomplete. This means: Use default_incomplete to create Subscriptions with status=incomplete when the first invoice requires payment, otherwise start as active.

I want to actually use the old subscription status , i.e if the old subscription is active then I want it to be active in the new account.
Everytime I try to do that , it tells me there is no default payment method, I've even tried updating the customer to set the default payment method to no avail.

Can you give me an example of a subscription where you tried updating the customer to set the default payment method to no avail?

https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/update#update_customer-default_source
I am extracting the customer record from the old account then calling the update customer endpoint and updating the default_source using customer.invoice_settings.default_payment_method where customer referrs to the old customer record then I use the value and pass it as the default_source parameters.

hi there 👋 give me awhile to catch up
@celest yacht the customer (cus_Sb4zz1TZ2i01Tr) existing payment method isn't set as default. Your subscription (sub_1RfuN1R5szRO3W0nXkRDD9a3) is configured to charge default payment method so the customer object needs to have a default payment method
celest yacht
How do I update the customer to set a default payment method ?
I have tried getting it from the old customer record and trying to set in the new one.

So pm_1RftiTR5szRO3W0nbv6rCA6E needs to be set under the customer's invoice_settings.default_payment_method [0]
