if default_payment_method isn't set on the subscription object, the subscription will use the invoices will use the customer’s invoice_settings.default_payment_method or default_source.

Retrieve the subscription and expand the parameters [0] e.g. customer.invoice_settings.default_payment_method

#

what if both invoice_settings.default_payment_method and default_source are null?

#

real walrus May 18, 2022, 3:17 AM

#

then you can't make payment

#

the payment will fail

clever pier May 18, 2022, 3:22 AM

#

so in the UI, I see this on the customer's subscription

#

I navigated here through customer -> actions -> update subscription. Is this suggesting that default_payment_method should be something other than null?

real walrus May 18, 2022, 3:27 AM

#

no, not necessarily. You could have created a subscription with a trial via the API previously. At this point in time, the subscription doesn't need to have a default_payment_method nor does the customer need to have invoice_settings.default_payment_method or default_source set.

#

The customer could have that payment method before hand, but it's not the invoice_settings.default_payment_method or default_source

#

so will this subscription charge ***4242 next cycle?

real walrus May 18, 2022, 3:32 AM

#

can you share the subscription id so that i can take a look?

clever pier May 18, 2022, 3:44 AM

#

I got here by creating a subscription on the server and passing the clientSecret to the UI and then making this call

      let { error } = await stripe.confirmCardPayment(data.clientSecret, {
        payment_method: {
          card: elements.getElement(CardElement),
          billing_details: {
            name: name,
          },
        },
      });

is this the correct way to make the subscription?

#

sure, this is using the test network, is that okay?

real walrus May 18, 2022, 3:48 AM

#

looks fine. If you haven't seen this guide : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements, you can use it as a reference. Yes, you can pass me the subscription id made in test mode

Build a subscriptions integration

Create and manage subscriptions to accept recurring payments.

#

you haven't updated either the default_payment_method on the subscription, or set that payment method as invoice_settings.default_payment_method

#

so no, payment wouldn't succeed

clever pier May 18, 2022, 3:50 AM

#

subsequent payments, right? the initial payment looks like it went through fine

real walrus May 18, 2022, 3:51 AM

#

yeah, subsequent payments

clever pier May 18, 2022, 3:52 AM

#

I see so after the customer pays, I need to fetch the payment intent object and use it to set the default_payment_method on the subscription object?

real walrus May 18, 2022, 3:55 AM

#

onesec, let me test something

#

yep, it's mentioned here : https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements#default-payment-method

clever pier May 18, 2022, 3:59 AM

#

got it, thanks for the help!
