How it works
Paddle Checkout handles securely capturing card details or other payment method. You should use Paddle Checkout to capture updated payment details for a subscription.
To open Paddle Checkout for an existing subscription to update payment details, you need a transaction for that subscription. The new get a transaction to update payment method operation returns a transaction that you can pass to Paddle.js to open a checkout for it.
You can use the new operation to build a workflow to let customers update their payment details.
