Basically i am using this document for future payment with card.
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=checkout#create-checkout-session
So i want to ask one thing, if there is no user means customer id we have already then from frontend we will pass name and email and then first create customer and pass that customer id to setup intent?

You should passing the CustomerId if you are creating a Checkout Session for setup mode.
Or you can configure the Checkout Session to create one customer_creation: always
https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer_creation

Not sure I'm following here. Once the Checkout session is completed, a payment_method will be created and attached to the customer.

You should be using the same Stripe Customer object.
covert sparrow
Alright it means no need to update customer object if he changes his name or email
?
tidal swan
You can update it via Stripe API https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/update
And keep using the same customerId for your Stripe Checkout Sessions
