hello! When you say customer balance, are you referring to this? https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-payment_method_options-customer_balance

[novel island]

Hey! I mean the credit balance for customers

[rigid bay]

that can't be used as a payment method for Checkout unfortunately

it can only be used to offset payments for Invoices

https://docs.stripe.com/payments/customer-balance#credit

[novel island]

Ahh oki

What would be the best way to implement reducing price based on customer balance?

[rigid bay]

you can consider using Invoices instead with the Payment Element, but the integration effort would be a lot higher since you need to build your own payment page essentially

https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/integration?method=elements

[novel island]

Oh damn, that's kind of annoying. I'll take a look at it, thanks for your help!

@rigid bay Sorry, I just noticed something in the API Docs.

What is the account_balance payment method for? I tried adding it and got an error.

customer_balance* sorry

[rigid bay]

customer balance (cash) is essentially for bank transfers
