I believe if you pass the customer-email property, this will either force the payment to occur on the preexisting customer or create a new customer with the email that was supplied: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout/pricing-table#customer-email

Embeddable pricing table for SaaS businesses

Display a pricing table on your website and take customers directly to Stripe Checkout.

#

we don't know the customer email yet. This is a public Pricing Table to sign up for different kinds of memberships and at the time of payment (Checkout session being created) the user will not yet be known.

#

so our goal is for an actual stripe customer to be created with each Pricing Table Checkout for one time payment and to create a Customer so we can associate that specific Stripe Customer record with a user record we created in our app.

Hmmmm, let me test on my end to see if a customer is created already or not. I believe they would be, but I'm unsure. I'll circle back in a few minutes

i believe guest customers are created

echo urchin Jan 17, 2023, 7:31 PM

#

That's what I thought too but I want to make sure that passing an email will not also create a guest customer (though it might)

#

we are unable to pass an email

#

the email is captured during checkout, so it's not available yet

echo urchin Jan 17, 2023, 7:35 PM

Gotcha. I just wanted to see if that was a possible workaround, but if that's absolutely unachievable in your workflow, then I guess the answer is: no, you can't create non-guest Customers via the Pricing Table
