@vocal whale https://stripe.com/docs/saving-cards#automatic-card-updates I think is what you'e looking for

Yes, it's referencing what I mean, though the details are spartan - this is automatically applied to all saved payment methods? Just those that are part of active subscriptions? I don't have to do anything to implement other than listen to and react in our system to related webhook events?

it applies to all saved cards against Customers in your Stripe account yep, and you don't have to do anything but maybe listen to webhoks and update your database when the changes happen

one thing I'd mention is the complete details of the card can change, like the last4, the expiry, but also the brand(I've seen Visas change to Mastercard when a bank changed over(https://newsroom.mastercard.com/eu/press-releases/santander-to-issue-mastercard-debit-in-the-uk/) ) so don't make too many assumptions about the card staying the same

ah that's a good note, is there any element that we can count on staying the same across an update, some kind of identifier?

#

the API ID like pm_xxx stays the same but anything else could change
