Hi 👋

Unfortunately since Payment Links are not specific to a Customer, this will cause duplicate Customer creation even when emails are the same.

If you know the Customer ahead of time you could use Checkout Sessions to create a Customer specific checkout flow that would avoid duplication.

thanks!. Do you know if it's possible to create a checkout session out of a payment link id ?

Payment Links are an asbtraction that sits on top of Checkout Sessions. They are easier to create and re-use but they offer less customization

Checkout Sessions are a lower layer of the API. More complex but more configurable

You can read about them here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout
