Hi there!

Hi Soma

[zinc sundial]

You want to know all the events triggered when calling https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/delete on a customer with an active subscription?

[restive willow]

yes correct

If i am deleting customer from stripe dashboard with an active subscription

[zinc sundial]

I just tested and I see: customer.deleted and customer.subscription.deleted

[restive willow]

Can you confirm me which event comes first ?

[zinc sundial]

Stripe doesn't garentee the order of events: https://stripe.com/docs/webhooks/best-practices#event-ordering

[restive willow]

Okey no issues! Reason for asking is when i am deleting any subscription i am handling customer.subscription.deleted event where in my db based on customer id i am doing some query. So if customer deleted event comes first i will clear that customer reference from db

[zinc sundial]

This can happen, so you'll need to handle that case in your code.

[restive willow]

It is possible , but if i am deleting a customer and i can get customer delete event i will just update according to that , if subscription deleted event comes first , i cant differentiate it is happended due to customer delete or subscription cancel

Is there any way i able to know customer subscription delete event fires due to delete of customer?

[zinc sundial]

Hum, not directly.

But if you try to retrieve the customer of the subscription, and it's deleted, then you know.

[restive willow]

i am afraid!

Clumsy way, Thanks for clarification

You can close the thread

Or before deleting the customer, check if they have an active subscription first. And if so, start by deleting the subscription, and only later delete the customer.

Happy to help 🙂
