Hi! Let me help you with this.

#

The unique id of the Customer is only the cus_xxx, otherwise there would be too much constraint. You can search for customer by email and update it instead of creating a new one. What's your usecase?

#

yes, Im wondering why Stripe creates separate cus_xxx even though its the same email?

#

How can I prevent this? It makes a bit of a mess with subscriptions
