#mtanzi - subscription migration
fleet token
lunar sage
the exact error returned is the following:
Stripe::InvalidRequestError: This customer has no attached payment source or default payment method.
from /Users/mtanzi/.rbenv/versions/2.7.2/lib/ruby/gems/2.7.0/gems/stripe-5.28.0/lib/stripe/stripe_client.rb:592:in `handle_error_response'
Can you share the request id where you get this please? such as req_123
https://stripe.com/docs/api/request_ids
But yes it looks like you don't have a payment method specified as the invoice default for that customer
If you create the subscription with payment_behavior=default_incomplete you can do so without a payment method, if you intend to confirm the payment when collecting payment details later

I am using the ruby wrapper, I am not receiveing the request id
to have an active subscription I always need a payment method assigned to the customer?

You can still access it on the response object, or check your dashboard logs for recent requests:

let say I, as an admin want to activate a subscription for a customer via API
req_8gXouYtPQ6Nktc
fleet token
With charge_automatically, yes, you can also provide a customer email address and use send_invoice instead:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create?lang=curl#create_subscription-collection_method
lunar sage
also using charge_automatically it failed, here is the req: req_rIdrJI6w1Y9LqE
fleet token
Yes you need a payment method to charge automatically
You can either defer the first payment with default_incomplete, or you can send invoices for payment
lunar sage
I see, ok...
Thanks for the help!
