It should not. Have you timed the Stripe calls and saw that they took 20 seconds? Or is this the time from a user clicking a button on your page to being redirected?
tacit obsidian
yeah i timed it myself as well
To set up the first session normally takes around 15 seconds
How long should it take?
bleak mango
Do you have the ID of a specific checkout session that took this long? (cs_test_1234)
I can check the end to end time from our side and look at it overall.
Not immediately sure on the average time but that does sound long
tacit obsidian
Can I send node JS code here?

Put the code between 3 backticks helps for readability. Like this
tacit obsidian
Oh sorry lol
karmic seal
All good

I am creating a customer, and getting a notification on my phone with customer created with ID 123...
-
is it even necessasry to create a customer? This way I am creating customers also when they dont finish checkout
-
How do I arrange that I receive the name of the customer instead of the ID

Yes you need a Customer in order to have a Subscription, however you can have the Checkout Session create the Customer if you so desire. That is up to you really.
- How do I arrange that I receive the name of the customer instead of the ID
The name associated with the Customer will be a property on the Customer object: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object#customer_object-name
Are you asking how you see this on your phone?
karmic seal
Are you getting a push notification from Stripe here or is this your own integration sending your phone a message?
tacit obsidian
Push from Stripe
karmic seal
I'm not familiar with our push notifications
tacit obsidian
Oke
karmic seal
Ah okay I doubt those are customizable, but that would be a better question for our Support team: https://support.stripe.com/contact/login
tacit obsidian
Alright, so then for the first question
Can I remove the create customer function
And pass in my own id as customer (property)
in the line below mode: subscription
karmic seal
No you can't use your own ID
That has to be a Stripe Customer ID
If you don't pass the customer parameter there at all then we will create a Customer for you
tacit obsidian
Any benefits or risks in there?
Said anotherway: If I leave both the create customer function and the customer paramter out
Stripe will create a customer when someone finish their checkout session
