Hi there! You can either (a) set the default_payment_method on the Subscription itself, or (b) set a payment_method on the Customer
If you do both, the payment_method attached to the Subscription will take precedence

but how to capture card data for trial subscriptions?
So I don't need to ask for the data in the future.

You can collect the payment method with any of our supported collection methods and then set the default_payment_method property of the payment method ID that you create through that process https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse
Subscriptions actually have a pending_setup_intent property with a setup intent you can use to collect the info https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-pending_setup_intent

ok
thanks
If the customer changes payment method because the other one failed, how do I identify that the old payment method was changed to a new one?

If you are setting this as the default payment method on the subscription, I believe you should get a customer.subscription.updated event

if the customer changes cards, is the payment_method changed?
I can compare the current default payment method with the old one, if it is different I set a new default
correct?

If it is a card, you can check the payment method's card.fingerprint property and see if it matches with the payment method that you already have on the subscription
