Hello! One important thing to understand is that multiple Customer objects in Stripe can have the same email address.
If you want to delete a Customer you can do so using this API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/delete
I recommend you test that in test mode to make sure it behaves the way you want/expect.

Yeah, I noticed that, I just wondered if there was a limit to how many same-email customers I could have?

But would it be considered "bad practice", to delete the accounts, and will I have access to the important information I would need for stuff like taxes and stuff?

There is no limit, no.

That's a question you need to figure out the answer to on your own. I can't provide tax advice or guidance, and I don't know what your business needs are.

Of course not, that is my bad.
Let me try to rephrase it.
Will I be able to see the previous payments after a customer is deleted, and will their payments still count towards datapoints like gross volume and so on?
quiet merlin
Their payments will still exist, but I can't really answer the second question.
It depends what specific datapoints you're talking about, what reports you're referring to, if those reports use Customer objects or not, etc.

Okay, I think that is what I needed to know.
Thank you so much for your help!

No problem!
