Hey! You'll want the invoice_settings.default_payment_method field: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object#customer_object-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

Stripe API reference – The customer object

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

ok I need to expand the customer retrieve so

ionic lily Nov 22, 2021, 12:47 PM

#

For the full Payment Method object, yes. Unless you just need the ID pm_xxx

mild fog Nov 22, 2021, 1:10 PM

#

I just need the pm_XXXX to create a subcription

loud juniper Nov 22, 2021, 1:13 PM

#

Then you can retrieve the customer record, and just pull the payment method ID from the invoice_settings.default_payment_method field (assuming that the default payment method has been previously set).

#

I try to expand

#

but it's because I not set the default I suppose

#

but in the payment method on stripe, I have the default tag on my payment method

loud juniper Nov 22, 2021, 1:19 PM

#

Could you check if the default_source field, on the customer object, has the information that you're expecting?

mild fog Nov 22, 2021, 1:20 PM

#

I speak about the default here

What is the response that you get when you retrieve that customer?

#

I have to expand the default_source ?

loud juniper Nov 22, 2021, 1:33 PM

#

So you're not going to find a pm_xxx ID for that card, because it was created as a source rather than a payment method.

#

That card_1Jy... value is the ID for it.

mild fog Nov 22, 2021, 1:37 PM

#

What is the best practice ? To set up the default payment method and the default source ? On pi successfull event ?

#

Is it possible to have a pm in the default_source ? WHy I have a card_XXX ?

loud juniper Nov 22, 2021, 1:41 PM

#

Because you seem to have created a source object rather than a payment method object. We recommend using payment methods:
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/transitioning

mild fog Nov 22, 2021, 2:09 PM

#

mmm I checked but I miss something I think

#

I create a PI stripe.paymentIntents.create

#

The PI is confirmed in front by the customer

#

So normally, the customer has the default source to the create PM no ?

#

I set the PI with something like :
{
...
payment_method_types: ['card'],
amount: price, // in cents
currency: currency,
customer: user.stripeId,
on_behalf_of: stripeMerchantId,
setup_future_usage: 'off_session'
payment_method: stripePaymentMethod
};

#

So I don't see why it's a card_XXX and why the customer don't have the default pm or default source with pm ?

#

Or maybe, when it's like that, the customer info is not updated with this information (pm) ?

loud juniper Nov 22, 2021, 2:17 PM

#

Bear with me, there are a couple things to break down here.

#

In this line, what is contained in the stripePaymentMethod variable?
payment_method: stripePaymentMethod

mild fog Nov 22, 2021, 2:22 PM

#

pm_XXXX

#

that is the pm generated by Stripe Element

#

To give you my flow :
I create the customer first (cus_XXX).
Then I create the PM with Stripe Element
Then I create the PI with the stripe customer id and the PM

loud juniper Nov 22, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

Gotcha, so that flow shouldn't have resulted in a card_xxx object like we saw above. Also we don't set defaults for a customer, we leave that up to you.

mild fog Nov 22, 2021, 2:27 PM

#

And for now, I update the invoice default pm on 'payment_intent.succeeded'.

#

But I would like to attach the default pm before the payment_intent.succeeded , if it's possible

#

OK. So the best way is to make the :
await stripe.customers.update(
stripeCustomerId,
{ invoice_settings: { default_payment_method: eventObject.payment_method } }
);
When I create the PI for the customer for example ?
Or when the confirmCardPayment is done ?

loud juniper Nov 22, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

That is the way to set the value, but when you do is up to you and depends on how you want your flow to be structured. If you set it before the card's confirmed to be valid, then you may need to reset it if the customer provides a different payment method.

mild fog Nov 22, 2021, 2:31 PM

#

yes that's why I do it on the webhook "payment successful"

loud juniper Nov 22, 2021, 2:34 PM

#

Seems like a good place to do that.
