using stripe.customers.create to add payment method.

Hey! Can you expand on the Payment Method scenario? They can't be deleted
Why as if one of my user wants to delete the added debit card .
@dense raptor I am confused why is it so
dense raptor
You can detach the Payment Method from the Customer: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/detach
Which makes them unusable. They can't be deleted completely for regulation compliance
bright rampart
Can you please explain me this
Note that for cards belonging to customers, you might want to prevent customers on paid subscriptions from deleting all cards on file, so that there is at least one default card for the next invoice payment attempt.
As i am finding it hard to understand.
dense raptor
What's hard to understand?
bright rampart
why should we don't delete the default card?
dense raptor
That endpoint is for card_ objects which are a legacy API and mostly deprecated
dense raptor
why should we don't delete the default card?
It's explained there in the message. To prevent any failed invoice payment attempts for recurring charges
But this is likely irrelevant as you're probably not using Card objects
bright rampart
yes we are using cards for payment.
that means we can do this but this is not recommended to delete your default card. Is this Right?
dense raptor
Right, but that doesn't mean you're using card_ objects. Most card payments are facilitated by Payment Method objects (pm_xxx) now
bright rampart
so that means i can delete the card from the source .
dense raptor
Can you share the ID of the object you want to delete?
