Hi! You want to set it as a default payment method for what exactly? To automatically use that payment method for next invoices?

yep exactly

#

Then you should use invoice_settings.default_payment_method https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update?lang=node#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method

#

So I would listen to a webhook event to know when the customer has set their payment method, and update the invoice_settings.default_payment_method of the customer.

#

What event you should listen to exactly depend on your Stripe integration. How are you collecting payment information now?

ok perfect thank you! I have an webhook listening to invoice.paid already

#

I am not storing any payment information, just redirecting users to the stripe payment page

#

the invoice.paid event return the invoice object, but im not sure how to get the payment details used from that object. - where can I find this so I can set invoice_settings.default_payment_method?

#

For subscriptions, we have a guide on how to set the default payment method: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements#default-payment-method

#

In this case it's updating the default_payment_method of the subscription instead of the customer. But it's the same idea.
