hi, the address on the customer will be replaced if you're using https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer_update-address
and then if you're also using billing_address_collection=auto , the address collected might not be full

I saw this page before. These parameters just makes address collectable, and address fields are empty despite having complete data in stripe customer. We have billing data management implemented on our platform, it's synchronized with stripe customers API but now it's useless because our client have to fill again data in checkout session. When I started implementing this feature it worked like Your system took present data in customer by default.

I think that's expected, Checkout doesn't really prefill information, but it's hard to say without a clear exact report with examples to look at(for example there are multiple possible addresses (the customer.address or the payment_method.billing_details.address)) right now

I understand. So there is no way to configure billing data while creating checkout session, am I right? I mean the customer has to fill the data on his own on checkout page?

you can, that is what billing_address_collection=required is for https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/object#checkout_session_object-billing_address_collection
