Hey there, can you say more about what you're having trouble with?

Xin - subscription events and customers

This is about trying to map your system customer IDs to stripe customer IDs?

yes

You'd want to either track that in your own system (store the Stripe customer ID) or you can put your own internal customer ID in customer metadata:

I followed that quick start, used Stripe-hosted Checkout page, and I think the customer got created on that page, this way how can I track Stripe customer ID in my system?

Right, so that customer doesn't exist yet in that case.

I guess I need to create customer for my user first, then start the check out session?
