Please provide a price for the default payment option.

Error message

Please provide a price for the default payment option.

What it means

After the PWYW checks, every tier must carry an enabled price entry for the product's default recurrence (product.subscription_duration): the recurrence key must exist in recurrence_price_values and have enabled: true, otherwise Link::LinkInvalid. Tiered memberships bill on the product's default period, so every tier needs a price for it.

Solutions

1. Enable and price the product's default payment option on every tier (e.g. monthly when subscription_duration is monthly)
2. Or change the product's default recurrence to the period all tiers actually offer
3. Verify no tier has the default period toggled off in the editor's pricing grid

Example fix

# before
# product.subscription_duration = 'monthly'
recurrence_price_values = { 'yearly' => { enabled: true, price_cents: 10_000 } }
# => Link::LinkInvalid: Please provide a price for the default payment option.

# after
recurrence_price_values = {
  'monthly' => { enabled: true, price_cents: 1000 },
  'yearly' => { enabled: true, price_cents: 10_000 }
}

default = product.subscription_duration.to_s
variants.each do |v|
  entry = v[:recurrence_price_values][default]
  raise %(no price for default recurrence #{default}) if entry.blank? || !entry[:enabled]
end

def tier_priced_for_default_recurrence?(variant_params, default_duration)
  entry = variant_params[:recurrence_price_values][default_duration.to_s]
  entry.present? && entry[:enabled]
end

begin
  VariantCategoryUpdaterService.new(product:, category_params:).process
rescue Link::LinkInvalid
  render_edit_form_with(product.errors.full_messages)
end

When it happens

Trigger: Product default duration is 'monthly' but a tier only enables the 'yearly' option, or the monthly entry exists with enabled: false — the presence/enabled check fails and the save aborts.

Common situations: Switching a product's default billing period after tiers were configured; selectively disabling one period on one tier.
