Not sure, it should definitely keep the same customer as far as I am aware.

Can you send me an example ID of a customer that was created this way?

In our logs, it looks like both of those accounts were created via a standard create account call, not from an update call
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_tgENxYsrID2XQ4
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_tgENxYsrID2XQ4

Can you do a quick test for me? If you spin up another node project quickly and just run the customer update function and nothing else, is a new customer still created?

Whats the right api to update customer email and name?

[quiet violet]

How to i pass email and name to be update?

const customer = await stripe.customers.update(
customerID,
{metadata: {email,name}}
);
like this or this
const customer = await stripe.customers.update(
customerID,
email,
name,
);

?

[vale rampart]

                    customerID,
                    email: email,
                    name: name,
                  );```

The doc that I linked to shows the parameters that are available for that method

[quiet violet]

its not working like this

[vale rampart]

Can you tell me more about how it is not working?

Are you getting a specific error?

[quiet violet]

const customer = await stripe.customers.update(
customerID,
email: email,
name: name,
);

[vale rampart]

Can you send me the full text of the syntax error?

Ah apologies, it looks like the syntax is

  'cus_1234',
  {
    description: '(created by Stripe Shell)',
    name: 'Jenny Rosen',
    email: '[e-mail]',
  }
);```
