Hello

#

No nothing wrong with that really if you want to do that. Object IDs really aren't sensitive -- you can't do anything with them unless you have the secret API key for the account where the object was created/is stored.

#

So mostly just never share your secret key, but setting object IDs as metadata is fine if you have a use-case for that

#

Only thing I'll say is that might get confusing...

#

I might recommend just creating your own UUID and setting it on both Customers' metadata

#

But up to you really

Ok great! thanks, I'm just trying to look up the customer in the connected account that is the same user as the customer in the platform account

#

so perhaps I should just use the user id

#

I can see that the Stripe dashboard replaces the customer id with a link to the customer page in the platform account which might be convenient for debugging

#

It creates a link to the platform Customer if you set the Customer as metadata?

#

(We don't actually know much about the Dashboard as we just focus on the API)

Nah that's okay. But that's interesting! I didn't know we did that to be honest.

cyan python
#

So that might be a good thing if you are working against the dashboard and need to see the "source" customer

ripe shard
#

Yep that does seem helpful

cyan python
#

Thanks for the help 🙂

Sure!
