Hi there, you can listen to payment_method.updated events https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types?lang=curl#event_types-payment_method.updated
deft dove
Oh awesome, I'll check that out
sleek mirage
No problem, there's also a payment_method.automatically_updated (https://stripe.com/docs/api/events/types?lang=curl#event_types-payment_method.automatically_updated) It Occurs whenever a payment method’s details are automatically updated by the network.

No problem, there's also a `payment_method.automatically_updated` (https://stri...
Do those work differently? or does automatically_updated trigger updated?
sleek mirage
Yes they are different, if the payment_method is updated via API, a payment_method.updated event is fired.
If the payment_method is automatically updated by the card network (i.e., the expiry date or cvv update), a payment_method.automatically_updated is fired.
deft dove
Right, what about when its upaded throught Stripe Elements?
does that still trigger payment_method.updated
sleek mirage
I don't think you can update a payment method via Stripe Elements, you need to call an PaymentMethod update API with your secret key.
deft dove
I mean when you send a payment intent to the payment element
because that intent has a customer so adds it to that
sleek mirage
No I don't think this triggers payment_method.updated event.
deft dove
Right 🤔
So how do I go about getting that information async then if it's not going to trigger any events...
also looks the the API never exposes which is the default payment method unless I missed somthing?
sleek mirage
Or can you tell me what do you plan to do with webhook event?
deft dove
Sure! I try to cache some of the Stripe data - as suggested in the docs - to not fetch from the API on every request to certain endpoints so I store the default cards last 4 digits, exp month, exp year and brand in a customer's row in my DB so that I can show it on the UI with a link to the Stripe billing session to change/manage it
but all payment is originally setup by using a Payment Intent and the Checkout Element
sleek mirage
OK, so basically you want to get the last4 digit of the payment method used in the PaymentIntent, am I right?
deft dove
basically yeah
sleek mirage
Got it
So you should listen to the payment_intent.succeeded event, and in the event handling, use the payment_method ID from the PaymentIntent object to and call PaymentMethod retrieval API to get the full PaymentMethod object, which you can find the last4, and exp data.
deft dove
If I already get invoice.paid and invoice.payment_failed can I expand them to include the payment information?
Sorry I just thought of that
sleek mirage
Sure you can do that as well
deft dove
Do you know what I would have to expand on them?
sleek mirage
Put this to the expand array ['payment_intend.payment_method']
sleek mirage
Sorry for the typo, it's payment_intent
deft dove
Don't worry just wanted to check
To expand the invoice I will have to re-request it right? I can't just expand the object I already have?
sleek mirage
No you can't, you need to call the retrieve API
