hello! that's expected behavior, Stripe doesn't de-duplicate customers with the same email for you at the moment. So the customer portal will always show the latest customer with that particular email (if you're passing in an email to create the customer portal)

hmm so any clues how i can achieve no-duplication?
I'd like that one customer can have 1 email only
so that all their subscriptions are visible on the same customer portal
pseudo oak
you'll need to implement that logic on your own - when a customer logs in to your site, they should only have one Stripe Customer ID linked to their account
keen viper
there is no login system on my site
pseudo oak
so everytime they subscribe to a Subscription, the same customer id will be used
keen viper
so i can't save any customer data
I thought email would be sufficient on stripe's end
pseudo oak
it's sufficient to collect payment and allow them to use the customer portal, except we currently don't do de-duplication
i'm afraid there's no other way right now. You'll likely need to implement some kind of mapping or login system to ensure uniqueness
keen viper
hmm i see. is it possible to retrieve Customers by email?
pseudo oak
yep, you can list all customers with a particular email : https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/list#list_customers-email
keen viper
ok thanks
pseudo oak
can you share the request id?
pseudo oak
can you also paste the response here?
pseudo oak
umm, the response can't be null, it should be an empty array at least.
