How to retrieve customer payment cards/methods list, with Admin API?

Hydrogen and Storefront APIs

Hi.
I’m working on a headless store, using both Admin and Storefront GraphQL APIs.

We are trying to allow customers to add/remove/update payment cards, so they can update payment method on subscription orders.

So basically what we want to do is:

  1. Show a list of existing payment methods attached to the account (not the store ones)
  2. We already list the user subscription orders (using Loop), so we will add a dropdown on the subscription detail, that way customer can choose what the new payment method associated with the subscription is. See

What I have found:

The problem is that

  1. Looks like read_customer_payment_methods is only available for Apps, can some one confirm this?
  2. The documentation isn’t clear enough on how to use the customerPaymentMethodCreditCardCreate which makes it very hard to implement, it says:

The Cardserver session ID. Obtained by storing card data with Shopify’s Cardsink. Exchanging raw card data for a session ID must be done in a PCI complaint environment. - Which is not really helpful

Can some one explain how to properly retrieve customer’s payment method on regular GraphQL Admin API without having to create an App?

Also how to add new payment methods, using Shopify’s Cardsink (whatever this is)?

Hey @Antonio_Chagoya

Currently the scopes required for those mutations are exclusive to subscription apps. You can see that here on our scopes page

Since your subscriptions are managed by Loop, they may be able to help and see if this is something they currently offer through their API.
