Important Behaviors
- Deleting a customer's default payment method does not automatically reassign another payment method as the new default. The
default_source_idmay reference a soft-deleted record. - The
source.deletedevent triggers connected webhook and integration listeners (e.g., MailChimp sync). - For Stripe accounts, the event is fired asynchronously via webhook, meaning integrations react after a short delay rather than within the API response.
