Overview

PaymentMethod objects represent your customer’s payment instruments. You can use them with [PaymentIntents](stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-intents) to collect payments or save them to Customer objects to store instrument details for future payments.

Class Method Details

.attach(payment_method, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Attaches a PaymentMethod object to a Customer.

To attach a new PaymentMethod to a customer for future payments, we recommend you use a [SetupIntent](stripe.com/docs/api/setup_intents) or a PaymentIntent with [setup_future_usage](stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-setup_future_usage). These approaches will perform any necessary steps to set up the PaymentMethod for future payments. Using the /v1/payment_methods/:id/attach endpoint without first using a SetupIntent or PaymentIntent with setup_future_usage does not optimize the PaymentMethod for future use, which makes later declines and payment friction more likely. See [Optimizing cards for future payments](stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-intents#future-usage) for more information about setting up future payments.

To use this PaymentMethod as the default for invoice or subscription payments, set [invoice_settings.default_payment_method](stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update#update_customer-invoice_settings-default_payment_method), on the Customer to the PaymentMethod’s ID.

end

.detach(payment_method, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Detaches a PaymentMethod object from a Customer. After a PaymentMethod is detached, it can no longer be used for a payment or re-attached to a Customer.
