1/ "They can log in to the portal with their email address and a one-time passcode."
2/ no, beyond the fact that it's an email address and probably the same email you set as the email on their Stripe customer object as in your internal user representation
3/ N/A
4/ No.

So "customer portal" is not really for paying subscibers - its for Stripe account holders?

[surreal cape]

note there are two ways to use the portal, one is the approach of just having a link(you generate it in your Dashboard) and embedding it on a site, that's what I'm talking about above https://stripe.com/docs/no-code/customer-portal#share

the other way is you authenticate the user yourself, pick the right Customer object from your Stripe account, and create the PortalSession and redirect the user to it. https://stripe.com/docs/customer-management/integrate-customer-portal

[surreal cape]

depends what you understand "Stripe account holder" to mean

[surreal cape]

it's for your end-customers, and anyone who has a Subscription has a Customer object cus_xxxx in your Stripe merchant account, and that's what the portal is for managing.

ok. im going to tag my lead dev here. I think we are trying to accomplish the 2nd way --but were traveling down the 1st path.

• @ashen thicket - see above and the 2nd link.
