👋 happy to help

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 9:21 AM

#

Thank you for taking my problem into consideration

bleak yew May 23, 2022, 9:21 AM

#

are you using checkout?

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 9:23 AM

#

I am using the payment element from stripe

#

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-element

Stripe Payment Element

Accept payment methods from around the globe with a single secure, embeddable UI component.

#

I use react for the front

#

I don't use the checkout page hosted by stripe

bleak yew May 23, 2022, 9:26 AM

#

ok

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 9:27 AM

#

I have followed this tutorial from stripe documentation :
https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements

Build a subscriptions integration

Create and manage subscriptions to accept recurring payments.

bleak yew May 23, 2022, 9:28 AM

#

there's a new parameter

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-payment_settings-save_default_payment_method

Stripe API reference – Create a subscription – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

it would do that without having to rely on webhooks

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 9:29 AM

#

Ok nice, so I have to set the var default_payment_method while creating the subscription ?

bleak yew May 23, 2022, 9:33 AM

#

no you don't, it will do it for you once the first invoice is paid

#

by setting this param when creating the subscription

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 9:36 AM

#

ok so I don't have to change anything in my code ?

#

The problem is that I create the subscription before the customer has finished paying

bleak yew May 23, 2022, 9:37 AM

#

you do have to do two small things, 1- remove the webhook code for that event, 2- set the save_default_payment_method to true when creating the subscription

#

all the rest of the flow would still be the same

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 9:39 AM

#

const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
      customer: customerId,
      items: [{
        price: priceId,
      }],
      default_payment_method: "",
      payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
      expand: ['latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
    });`

#

"payment_settings.save_default_payment_method optional enum
Either off, or on_subscription. With on_subscription Stripe updates subscription.default_payment_method when a subscription payment succeeds."

#

Ok so I'll put payment_settings: {save_default_payment_method:"on_subscription"}

#

const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
      customer: customerId,
      items: [{
        price: priceId,
      }],
      default_payment_method: "",
      payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
      expand: ['latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
      payment_settings: {
        save_default_payment_method: "on_subscription"
      }
    });

#

Sorry for the inconvenience, your api is really great

bleak yew May 23, 2022, 9:44 AM

#

perfect

#

sorry, it's a new feature we just added last week, I'm still not on top of it a 100%

#

I thought it was a boolean 🙈

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 9:45 AM

#

Haha no problem, I find it already incredible the help you bring on discord and the speed at which you answer

bleak yew May 23, 2022, 10:06 AM

#

let me know if you need any more help

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 10:11 AM

#

I'm sorry to bother you again but I feel like it doesn't set the default payment method when I added save_default_ payment_method: "on_subscription"

I did remove the webhook, here is my code :

const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.create({
      customer: customerId,
      items: [{
        price: priceId,
      }],
      payment_behavior: 'default_incomplete',
      expand: ['latest_invoice.payment_intent'],
      payment_settings: {
        save_default_payment_method: "on_subscription"
      }
    });

#

customer id : cus_Lk2FdMg3qQFQF6
payment id : pm_1L2YCEHe8JvDQ9Zm4HDC01ZN
subscription id : sub_1L2YBFHe8JvDQ9ZmyYL5qO3i

#

seems like it worked to me

#

why do you think it didn't?

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 10:16 AM

#

Oh ok thank you

#

I don't see the payment method in the customers tab

Screenshot_2022-05-23_at_12-16-04_Clients_timenjoy.fr_Stripe_Test.png

#

And when I want to change the billing period (monthly to annual) I get a 400 with this error message: "This customer has no attached payment source or default payment method. Please consider adding a default payment method."

rigid cypress May 23, 2022, 10:19 AM

#

heady pawn I don't see the payment method in the customers tab

yep because it sets the default on the subscription object, not at the customer level

rigid cypress May 23, 2022, 10:19 AM

#

heady pawn And when I want to change the billing period (monthly to annual) I get a 400 wit...

that's because for some reason you are unsetting the default payment method in your request, you should not do that

heady pawn May 23, 2022, 10:19 AM

#

Oh yes, I see, it seems clear now 💀

#

I feel so dumb ;_;

rigid cypress May 23, 2022, 10:22 AM

#

not at all! it's complicated
