Add Action to Update Payment Method (and/or toggle automatic/manual renewals)

[thenbrent]

From @jrick1229 via Slack:

• Here are the settings:
  • Subscription Product A - $0 every month, $500 sign-up fee
  • Subscription Product B - $100 every month
  • Workflow - Subscription Renewal Payment Complete - Add Product B to subscription
• Sequence of events:
  • Purchase Product A.
  • Subscription will be set to ‘Manual Renewal’.
  • Manually ‘Process Renewal’.
  • Once the workflow runs, Product B should be added to the subscription.
• Notice that even though the subscription is now charging every month, the payment method is still set to ‘Manual Renewal’.
• Any possible way to update that payment method when the workflow is processed?

The Subscription - Add/Update Custom Field could be used for this by setting the following custom fields:

• _requires_manual_renewal set to string 'false' or string 'true'
• _payment_method set to payment method key, e.g. 'stripe'` and
• _payment_method_title set to description of payment method, e.g. 'Credit Card via Stripe'

However, it would also be possible to a provide a much simpler UI to set these, if demand exists for it.
