Add Payment Method to Customer

Add a payment method to a customer profile (card on file).

In the sandbox, adding a card payment method type (with the type field and the fields object) requires 3DS authentication by the cardholder. See Simulating 3DS Authentication. In production, requirements differ from card to card. 3DS authentication is required if payment_method_options.3d_required is set to true or if the bank or card network require it.

This method triggers the Customer Payment Method Created Webhook. This webhook contains the same information as the response.

In addition, when a card payment method type is added to a customer:

If 3DS is not required, this method triggers Payment Succeeded Webhook with a zero-amount transaction and the Card Added Successfully Webhook.
If 3DS is required, the Payment Updated webhook with a zero-amount transaction and the Card Added Successfully Webhook are sent following 3DS authentication.
In production, you cannot add a card to a customer profile for a telephone order.

The following asynchronous webhooks provide information about later changes to the Payment Method object:

Payment Method Failed webhook
Card Added Failure Webhook

Note

Merchants who have PCI clearance can use the API to add a card payment method.
You can also use a hosted page to add a card payment method to a customer. See Create Card Token.
Use this method to create a payment method ID for a subscription. See Create Subscription.
Use this method to create a network reference ID for repeat card payments. You can also create a network reference ID when you create a payment. See Create Payment.

Prerequisites

Use Get Payment Method Required Fields to determine which fields are required to create the payment method.
