Yeah unfortunately you can't retrieve guest customers via the api since they're not real customers

It's just a way to group payments in the dashboard

See https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/guest-customers which covers this in details

Sure, I do understand. But one thing I was thinking about was since it groups payments by email, phone number, or cc, is there an API that contains the guest payment (/v1/checkout/sessions maybe) That I could then cross reference with a customer id or customer email, phone number or cc, to link the two together to get that guest checkout session as well?
old pelican
Unfortunately no there's nothing like this

I see, understood.
One more quick question related to API's for a customer. In my Stripe instance for a customer I see a Spend column (Table has "Customer", "Email", "Spend", "Last Charge", and "Created"). I am getting customers via /v1/customers but I do not see a property for the spend column. Is this accesible via API?
old pelican
No that is a Dashboard only feature.
You can calculate this yourself in the API using the List Charges API https://docs.stripe.com/api/charges/list and passing customer: 'cus_123' and summing all the successful ones, but we don't have an API for the pre-calculated spend
