So basically as the question says, I want a replicate a real world scenario where a card is active at a point of time and in future it expires.

[glossy carbon]

Should be possible to do by manually updating the PM/card on the sub after the initial payment, and then simulating time advancements with a test clock

There's no one test card to test that scenario

[warm slate]

So what you mean is, I create a payment method the first time using the card when it is active. Then I update the payment method so that it expires and try to use the same PM again correct?

[glossy carbon]

Initialise a subscription with a card that will successfully pay the first invoice (4242), then update the default PM on the sub to use a card that will decline/is expired

[warm slate]

Sure understood. Also what if I update the PM exp year here using the API just for testing purposes? https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods/update#update_payment_method-card-exp_year

[glossy carbon]

Not sure, maybe. Declines on expired cards aren't always guaranteed as the bank will sometimes forgive them based on other signals

You're better off using this card to simulate an expired decline: 4000000000000069

Okay got it thanks. Will try this out.

Is there any test card in 3ds that achieves this though?This is much similar to my scenario but I need a 3DS card

[floral vale]

Hey! Taking over for my colleague.

Is there any test card in 3ds that achieves this though?
Nope that one doesn't requires 3ds

You want to test 3DS after creating the Subscription or testing the payment failure ?

[warm slate]

Basically I want to add a 3DS card because my system only accept 3DS cards currently. I add a card, do the first payment. Want to simulate a card expiry for the second payment but using the same payment method.

[floral vale]

In this case you can use this card:
4000002760003184
and in the next invoice/renewal, don't accept the 3DS so the payment will fails

Ok got it. Also why am I getting an error when I try to update a payment method?

https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods/update?lang=curl#update_payment_method-card-exp_month

    "error": {
        "code": "invalid_expiry_year",
        "doc_url": "https://stripe.com/docs/error-codes/invalid-expiry-year",
        "message": "Your card's expiration year is invalid.",
        "param": "exp_year",
        "request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_USczFEC0PmEmHf?t=1760092385",
        "type": "card_error"
    }
}```

--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic c2tfdGV*********' \
--data-urlencode 'card%5Bexp_year%5D=2023'```

Is this the right way to use this API?

[floral vale]

You are sending an old year

You should send a future year

[warm slate]

oh so backward months and years don't work is it

even in the test environment
