hey there, looking into this now

#

ok so it sounds like you're using SetupIntents and subscriptions, but sometimes the payment method isn't set as default

would you be able to share an example where it was, and an example where it wasn't, so we can compare? (either the subscription IDs or SetupIntent IDs are perfect)

thanks, taking a look at these now

shadow tide
#

is it possible that i should first

#

confirm

#

Setup

#

before creating the subscription

#

?

brave valve
#

it can be either before or after, depending on your integration flow - I'll explain the difference between these two examples 🙂

#

  1. sub_1SKxOORvd0kOjiXVmtJzmjuM
    a. SetupIntent (seti_1SKxO4Rvd0kOjiXVOyMFNIHK) created via the API before the subscription: https://dashboard.stripe.com/acct_1NkVdERvd0kOjiXV/test/logs/req_k1QY4GOspUHITR
    b. SetupIntent confirmed
    c. Subscription created, passing the payment method ID generated in (b) indefault_payment_method: https://dashboard.stripe.com/acct_1NkVdERvd0kOjiXV/test/logs/req_KYYJ4HYAwDJu2S

  2. sub_1SKxODRvd0kOjiXVpKw2Fi0A
    a. Subscription created before a SetupIntent (not passing default_payment_method): https://dashboard.stripe.com/acct_1NkVdERvd0kOjiXV/test/logs/req_Ixj0gtwVdLMPNi
    b. Stripe automatically generates a pending_setup_intent on the subscription object: https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent

#

this can be done after creating the subscription

since you set payment_settings.save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription', once the pending SetupIntent is confirmed succesfully, the customer's payment method will be set as the default for the subscription

shadow tide
#

so you are saying that 'on_subscription' means that if i confirm setup after creating the subscription it should automatically link the costumers payment method to the subscription but in my case it is not doing that

#

I always call confirm setup after creatingthe subscriptions with ayment_settings.save_default_payment_method: 'on_subscription'

#

but only after i created a subscription with an already confirmed setup the payment method was linked

#

even though it was the same setup intent

brave valve
#

yes exactly, and the reason it's not doing that for the example above is because the pending_setup_intent wasn't confirmed

#

since this subscription is for a customer that already has a card saved (from the previous SetupIntent), it makes more sense to pass default_payment_method when creating the second subscription

shadow tide
#

but this is the same customer in both subscriptions and the setup intent which was confirmed after the first subscription creation

#

why is it pending_setup_intent for the first subscription

brave valve
#

because when a card is saved to a customer, that card isn't automatically set as the default for future subscriptions

you either need to set it in invoice_settings.default_payment_method on the Customer object (to make the card default for all invoices/subscriptions for that customer), or else pass it to default_payment_method explicitly when creating a new subscription

shadow tide
#

ah

#

okay

#

thanks a lot

#

I really appreciate your help
