Add the ability to specify a card for a subscription.

[Tyler Slater]

Currently we are able to have multiple cards and multiple subscriptions per customer. The problem is that the api only lets you change a default card that must be used for all subscriptions. A default card is nice...but if you can't set the card to something other than the default card it isn't really a default...it is the only active card.  We would like to keep the default card but also have the ability to specify a different card on some subscriptions. We desperately need the ability to use different cards for different subscriptions on the same customer. Currently we have to create a new stripe customer for each card that our customer puts into the system. It makes the multiple cards and multiple subscriptions features nearly useless.

Yes, This!!!

This is good feature. I would use it.

Acknowledged! Thanks for raising, Tyler, and others for chiming in
and showing interest. This had been on our radar, but very useful to
see the interest. We'll share here if we have an update.

Shoot! This would help big time. We work with multi-location franchises who need the ability to use multiple cards and this would seriously help out big time. Thx.

I'm a huge fan of Stripe, but honestly I'm more than a little surprised and disappointed that this isn't already a feature.

[Joshua Bird]

I completely agree!!  I am an active stripe user, but this new feature is absolutely a requirement for me to stay longterm.  My current workaround for this stripe shortcoming is becoming unmanageable for me as I add more and more customers.  Please hurry!

Thanks for the awesome product and API. Just commenting to show interest in this specific enhancement.

We've only been using Stripe for about a month, and this makes a lot of sense.

I see you just added the multiple Subscriptions per Customer in January. This really sets you guys apart from other processors and makes our lives easier. If you did not have this, we wouldn't have made the transition.

Being able to designate a specific Customer's Card per Subscription seems like a natural progression of the enhancement in January, and will be really powerful.

Looking forward to it!

[Andy Whitt]

Me too

+1 This would prevent a decent amount of unnecessary development on our part.

[Brian Ross]

Any update on this? I needed the ability to assign cards to subscriptions yesterday...

HI folks,

This has definitely been elevated to "we will do it," so I can assure
you that it's a matter of when, not if. For better or for worse
that's the only update that I have now -- we will be knocking this off
as soon as we can!

Jim

[Cj Lewis]

That would be awesome because I literally just got of the phone with another customer who needs this so badly. So the sooner the better. 

Thanks, CJ

Jim, 

That's fantastic news. Thanks so much for keeping us informed.

[Tyler Slater]

Has there been any progress on this?

[Jim Danz]

Still too early to talk in terms of timelines, but we're on this!

[Andy Whitt]

I really need this too. 

[Schedule Hater]

+1. I really need this too. Any word on timelines now?

Hi Jim,

Any updates on this? I was looking over the API, and I see subscriptions still pull from the default card.

Thanks,

Brian

I haven't heard any news on this, right now the standard work around would be to create another Stripe Customer, which while it isn't great it isn't horrible as well. 

[Devin Walker]

Any word on this? 1 year almost later...

[Manmohan Bishnoi]

Hi Jim,

It has been an year. Any updates on "when" ?
We really need this feature in our upcoming app.

Thanks
Manmohan

[Jim Danz]

Sorry folks -- it's still not something that we're able to commit to a
date on at this stage. I'm going to take a look and see if we can get
this bumped up, as I know that the delays here are unacceptable and I
truly apologize.

[Matthew Arkin]

Just a reminder, a workaround you can do is just 1 subscription per customer (in your own database you can keep track of the master customer and their related sub customers / subscriptions). 

And if you really wanted to be able to let the customer pick and choose which card to use for each subscription (without just entering a new card for each subscription), that is possible through some horrible abuse / hacks of Shared Customers. [1]

[Manmohan Bishnoi]

Matthew,

We are using a similar workaround to emulate such a functionality.

I was eager if Stripe was natively going to support such functionality in their next release.

+1 for this feature.. pretty please?!?

[Toshiki Inami]

+1 :)

[Michael Frederick]

+1 - It's been 2 years, this would be a really nice to have, the alternative really feels like a hack.

True...

It will be great to have a "Preferred card" on a 'per subscription' basis.

I would love to see this as an option, as well as being able to specify a bank account as the source if the user has both cc and BA details stored. It is a small detail, since you can specify to charge a bank account, but if I try to look up the customers sources and use the ID of the card, I get an invalid token error, while a bank ID works fine.

[Jaap]

+1  This would be so helpful.. any update?

[Remi J.]

Hey everyone,

It's something that we know would be useful for some of you and that we hope to be able to add in the future. We don't have any update to share about this at the moment though but I'll follow up on this list in the future if we start working on this!

Cheers,

Remi
