Which payment method does Orb use for Stripe transactions?
Last updated: September 13, 2024
Default payment method
Orb exclusively uses the default payment method set in Stripe for transactions. This means:
Only the payment method marked as default in Stripe will be used for charges.
Other payment methods associated with the account, even if they are valid, will not be used if they are not set as the default.
Setting a default payment in Orb
When customers pay an invoice through the Orb invoice portal, they can save their payment method for future transactions.

Important considerations
The Stripe customer must be linked to the Orb customer for the payment method to be picked up.
Orb does not automatically select the first available payment method.
If a payment method exists but is not marked as default, Orb will not use it for automatic payments.
To ensure successful automatic payment, ensure the customer in Stripe has a valid default payment method.
