Hm usually we group payments under a "guest" if you don't associate a customer id with the payment
So what you'd want to do is create a Customer in Stripe via the API
Then pass that customer id when creating the payment

Is there a way for the customers to self serve setting up their own account?
lunar trellis
Oh I think I misunderstood what you were saying then
You have them create stripe accounts?
jovial adder
no worries 🙂 I am not even clear on how to ask it lol
well I want them to be associated with my business account as a customer
lunar trellis
Yeah can you just try to explain in more detail so I understand?
What do you mean by set up their own account then?
If all you want is for them to be a customer
jovial adder
Currently all payments are guests, but I have other integrations that will allow me to process payment against actual customer accounts.
lunar trellis
Oh so those aren't called accounts
Just customer objects
accounts are a separate thing
But what I said here is what you want to do:

Is there not a way to have this happen when a customer uses our payment link?
I guess let me add a few things:
- PSA is Halo PSA for managing and invoicing our customers
- we can have halo pay the correct amount of an invoice on a customer object that is linked
- currently we are proving a payment link from stripe to do this and all payment are showing as guests.
- I was hoping to use the payment link to build out the customer details in stripe ( to then later link in halo )

No there's not a way to pass customer id with payment links unfortunately
Nah payment links don't support passing customer id
jovial adder
hmm , well thats no fun. Thanks for helping 🙂

If you want a stripe hosted payment page where you can pass customer id, I recommend using checkout sessions instead
jovial adder
ok, I'll check in to that. Mainly I wanted my customers to be able to establish a non-guest account in an self-serve kind of way. After they are a customeroobject they can get a link to access their customer portal. I was thinking there hsoudl be a way to get them setup prior to that.
jovial adder
ah ok, I guess that is what I was trying to understand. There are many stripe hosted forms available but I wasn't able to find a stripe hosted setup your account form
