Hi! Let me help you with this.
You mean you get Customer objects with the same email?

That's normal, email is not a unique field for a Customer. You will need to first check if there's a Customer with an email, and then use it in the Checkout Session: https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/list#list_customers-email
