We want an existing card to be automatically marked as the default during a new subscription purchase

πŸ” Problem Statement

When a customer adds a new payment method during a subscription flow (or via the Default UI), it is not set as the default. The old card remains the default β€” which can cause failed renewals if it is expired or revoked β€” and customers must manually change the default before they can remove the old card, adding unnecessary friction.

πŸ’‘ User Story

As a subscriber, I want a newly added payment method to become the default β€” automatically and/or via an explicit "Set as default" option in the add-payment flow β€” so that future renewals use my latest card without a separate manual step.

🎯 Definition of Done (DoD)

  • βœ” Given a customer who adds a new card during a subscription flow, when the card is saved, then it can be marked as the default payment method for the account (automatically, and/or via a "Set as default payment method" checkbox in the Default UI add-payment modal).
  • βœ” Behaviour is consistent across the subscription update flow and the Default UI payment-method modal.
  • βœ” This change will impact UI / API β€” the Default UI payment modal and the payment-method resource (Core API).
