👋 Welcome to your new thread!

⏲️ We'll be here soon! Typically we respond in a few minutes, but sometimes we might take a bit longer if the server is busy or if you have a particularly tricky question.

⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can always start a new thread if you have another question.

🔗 This thread will always be available, even after it's closed. You can find it again using Discord's search, or you can save this link: https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1220827668023611533

What are you using for your checkout flow?

Are you creating a customer object yourself?

Stripe Elements in the browser captures the card data and sends it to the back end with a stripe token and the back end uses that to make an api call to create the customer. Sometimes stripe returns a preexisting customer if it recognizes the user, but often returns a new customer.

What does this mean? If you're using elements, then you fully control the code for when a customer is created. That's up to you

I have to do a little more digging sorry. Ideally keep this open if I have follow-up info.
