no such source when creating a subscription to a paid plan

[Raphael B]

I am using stripe gem v 1.57.0, Ruby 2.3.0, Stripe API version 2016-07-06 on Ubuntu 16. I have a paid-plan called "small" and I run the following in stripe-console:

Stripe.api_key = 'sk_test_<rest of my test publishable key>'

st = Stripe::Token.create(card: {number:"4242424242424242",exp_month:11, exp_year:2017, cvc:123})

Stripe::Customer.create(plan:"small", email:"u...@example.com", default_source:st.id)

and i get:

Stripe::InvalidRequestError: (Status 400) (Request req_9eDifdeAcouHxI) No such source: tok_19KvD....

I thought I understood how things were supposed to work: you get a token for the card and pass that token and a plan name when creating a customer with a subscription.

What am I missing?

Hey Raphael,

The issue here is that you're not using the proper parameter. You're trying to create a customer with a source so the token id (tok_XXX) needs to be passed in the `source` parameter and not in the `default_source` parameter. The latter is used to set a specific source as the new default instead once it's already been saved on the customer. For example if that customer has 3 cards and you want to change the default to a new one, you'd use the Update Customer API [1] and pass that card's id (card_XXXX) in `default_source`.

Your code should be:

Stripe::Customer.create(plan:"small", email:"u...@example.com", source: st.id)

Hope this helps!

Remi
