We don't have any BNPL integrated today, we're in the process of understanding the changes needed before we begin development (as it will affect the UI / design team)
We currently integrate with Stripe's APIs and save Stripe's customer_id for those successful transactions that have enabled a subscription, so that we can execute a recurring charge based on the user's subscription schedule

yeah unfortunately this is a bit too high level for me to grasp what you could mean by that
Like a Customer id cus_123 is you creating it explicitly. If you use Subscriptions sub_123 then a Customer id is required.

Gotcha, yes I'm referring to the Customer ID cus_123
We're not using the Subscription service APIs, but handling ourselves (due to the excessive fees of the subscription service )

Unfortunately you're still really vague 😅
Sorry not sure how to say this. Right now your question boils down to "do I get a customer id if I use BNPL". To which the answer is "you get a customer id if you create a customer"
So I must be missing something obvious in what you are asking. Can you try and explain this more clearly and focusing exactly on your code and the API?
royal trail
oh I see, sorry I'm not directly familiar with the existing integration so I assumed the customer ID was created as a result of a successful transaction
I didn't realize the Customer ID was created before the actual transaction was completed
So I think that does answer my question for the moment 🙂
I will jump back in this thread when I review the existing integration and if I have any more questions on it

That thread will be archived but feel free to ask a new question in the channel. I would recommend syncing with your developers first as they would be familiar with our APIs and products if you aren't familiar with those yourself!

Okie thank you very much
