faz919-update customer

[flint condor]

hey, there is no payment_method parameter when trying to update a customer https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update

[dusty burrow]

ok

am i able to change default payment method?

like this?

[flint condor]

yes but this only related to invoices/billing

you could use https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/attach to attach a payment_method to a customer if you want to

[dusty burrow]

ah ok that's what i'm looking for

thanks

[flint condor]

let me know if you need any more help

[dusty burrow]

let me just run a test and see if it works

then ill get back to you

syntax on this is all good?

[flint condor]

you need to test it but it seems good to me

[dusty burrow]

aight

so then after i attach a payment method to a customer, can that payment method be used again in the future for a different customer

[flint condor]

no

[dusty burrow]

hmm

then is it possible to detach a payment method from a customer

[flint condor]

yes

https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_methods/detach

[dusty burrow]

besides the customer going in to their billing portal and manually doing it

ah aight just the same method

cool

[flint condor]

but you won't be able to attach it to another

[dusty burrow]

hmm

aren't there some use cases where that becomes an issue though

[flint condor]

if you're using billing portal you don't have to worry about this

[dusty burrow]

i am

[flint condor]

when I say you can't use the same payment method I don't mean the card number

the same card can be used to create multiple payment methods

[dusty burrow]

oh ok

alright well it went through with no errors

thanks man appreciate the help

[flint condor]

let me know if you need any more help
