billingAddress field is missing on consecutive payments for Subscriptions

[TarasShyn]

Hi,

I create a new customer -> first payment -> subscription

The first manual payment correctly has a billingAddress, and the country is populated.

However, automatic payments are missing the billingAddress field completely, and the country is shown as "Unknown".

There seems to be no way to add billingAddress to a subscription itself or to the customer; the billingAddress is only passed to the first payment, and isn't populated for future payments. Also, it does not seem possible to update the payment itself to properly populate the address.

Is it a known issue, or expected behaviour, that the billingAddress is missing from payments issued automatically by Mollie during a subscription?

@hreinberger could you chime in?

Hi @TarasShyn sorry for the delay. I checked the behavior with a few subscriptions and can confirm that the country is Unknown for them, too. This behavior doesn't seem to be related to our node client since I also checked a subscription created through our Shopware plugin.

Does this behavior create issues for you? If yes, can you go into details on how you would like the subscription to behave?

Thanks for taking a look at it.

I wanted to get the billing info directly from the payment for invoicing and was surprised that it wasn’t present. Ideally, I think it should inherit the billing info from the first payment (mandate), unless it has changed. Since it’s possible to change the mandate for a subscription by revoking the old one and creating a new one, it should inherit the billing data from that new mandate.

This is ideally how I see it. Currently, I just store the billing info and the payment in the database and associate the payment with the billing address at the time of the charge.
