heya @fleet thunder, yes, it should be possible, you can attach a source to a customer using https://stripe.com/docs/api/sources/attach

Thanks Alex.

What I am also looking for is....a way to pass card information and create a source.
This document is not super detailed about the options I need to pass for creating the source with a card (i.e. card number, other details etc) -> https://stripe.com/docs/api/sources/create

My code:
const source = await stripe.sources.create({
type: 'card',
currency: 'aud',
owner: {
email: '[e-mail]'
},
// need to check params to pass for a card here
})

error message:
Error: Missing required param: card.

you should ideally be using PaymentIntents and PaymentMethods for card payments : https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

using PaymentIntents and PaymentMethods would allow you access to many new features which using Sources and Charges wouldn't have

[fleet thunder]

Thanks. However if I did want to create a source with a card how would I do that?

Hi, I'm taking over alex-stripe.

You would first create a token: https://stripe.com/docs/api/tokens/create_card
And then pass the token when creating the source: https://stripe.com/docs/api/sources/create#create_source-token

But I would strongly recommend to use Checkout Session or PaymentIntent instead.

Token and sources are an old way of implementing Stripe.

Thanks Soma

How do I make my subscription schedule use a particular source? Can I pass the source id as a parameter?

[frosty zinc]

I don't see a way to set that on the subscription schedule.

[fleet thunder]

So if I'm using sources how do I start a subscription for a customer on one of their saved sources?

Also, in case of paymentIntent/PaymentMethod how do I attach it to a subscription schedule(can I create subscription schedule with a peymentMethod)?

[frosty zinc]

If you are using a PaymentMethod, then you can set default_settings.default_payment_method on the subscription schedule https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscription_schedules/create#create_subscription_schedule-default_settings-default_payment_method

[fleet thunder]

Thanks

I'm trying to attach an existing source to a csutomer object. Both the source and customer are in the connect account. I'm however using my platform key.

await stripe.customers.createSource(
connectId,
{
source: subscription_data.source,
},{ stripeAccount: stripe_connect_account_id })

This doesn't seem to work. The error I get is missing required param: source

Is there any way to attach the source to the customer on my connect account?

Can you share the ID of the failing API request? (req_xxx)

[fleet thunder]

req_n4aIh3hKCWVrhe

[elder pebble]

Yeah, there's no parameters passed in the payload we've received

Are you sure that's the code that's being executed?

[fleet thunder]

Yeah

[elder pebble]

My guess is subscription_data.source is undefined. stripe-node will remove any parameters without a value

[fleet thunder]

Yes, my bad. worked with a small change.

So, I was able to pass default_source and create a subscription schedule.
This is the subscription schedule that was created:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/subscription_schedules/sub_sched_1KQsFJFUtwYrZPVCs0Z1EwcD

How do I check if it has the default_source property set to the source I used?

[elder pebble]

Looks like you didn't pass a default_source parameter when creating the schedule: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_cbqDjb8ovip4dX

[fleet thunder]

Sorry this is the one. I can see the default_source field

https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/events/evt_1KQsQGFUtwYrZPVC7gtZLRHD

So the autodebit will happen from the default_source of the subscription schedule no matter what the user's default source is?

[elder pebble]

Yes, exactly. default_source on the subscription will take precedent over the default source of the associated customer

[fleet thunder]

So if I have default_source set on subscription schedule....I don't need to worry if the customer's default source changes before the autodebit as long as the default_source on sub schedule remains the same?

[elder pebble]

Exactly

[fleet thunder]

actually soma mentioned in the thread above that setting a source on sub schedule is not possible. But seems to be working fine for me.

[elder pebble]

Noted here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-default_source

[elder pebble]

Yeah I guess it's undocumented. Sources are an older API now so we don't recommend using them unless a legacy integration

[fleet thunder]

So for now, we're creating a source, attaching the source to the customer and then creating a sub schedule with the source as the 'default_source' for the sub schedule.
We'll switch to paymentMethods soon.

[elder pebble]

Cool!

[fleet thunder]

Thanks a lot for all the help

[elder pebble]

Np!
