When you say "I cannot manage to setup that the payment method used with the checkout is automatically saved with the customer", what do you mean?

well I am creating a checkout session, with the session there's automatically a customer created, I want that the Credit Card which is used as a payment method for the checkout session is saved with the customer that is created, so I can charge the customer in the future

It should do that automatically if you are actually creating a new Customer object. Do you have a Checkout Session ID I can look at?

Ah, so it looks like you're creating guest customers, which don't act like regular Customers. When you create the Checkout Session, make sure you pass always on the customer_creation attribute to ensure the Customer is created and the Payment Method is attached: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer_creation

customer_creation='always', is already set when I create the session @sharp gulch

Ah, you're right. Apologies for the oversight. Let me dig a bit and get back to you

Apologies for the oversight, I mistakenly thought Checkout would attach the Payment Method to the Customer after a successful payment, but I guess it does not. You would need to use Checkout in setup mode, then create the payment on the backend after the customer successfully goes through the Checkout flow: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=checkout
