when a user pays from payments link (checkout), stripe creates a new customer even when if i pass the customer_email and client_refernce_id in the url

eg: https://buy.stripe.com/test_eVa3do41l4Ye6KkcMN?prefilled_email=jenny%40example.com&client_reference_id=id_1234&locale=de

Powdur

[TEST] Pure glow cream

#

how can i attach the subscription created via the above link to an existing customer?

#

You can't using payment links, currently, that's not possible

#

We've heard the feedback though and are looking at ways to offer support for this

#

If you want to add subscriptions for existing customers using CHeckout, you need to create a single use checkout session for that customer:
