I will need a bit more details about the situation. What do you exactly mean by "payment" in this case?

tribal lion Apr 4, 2024, 10:24 AM

#

give me a sec

#

All his payments.

#

Sorry, this doesn't make it clearer.

#

I understand you already made some progress in the migration.
What kind of objects are you creating and how exactly?

#

Yes, it's totally possible to reuse the Customer object, but you will need to manually check if a Customer with a given email exists, and if yes, work with the existing Customer object, otherwise create a new one. But I will need more details to be able to provide more detailed advice.

I need to sync up with my colleague who worked on the setup, so I'll respond. Please don't close the thread, I'm waiting for his response.

#

Okay. The thread will close automatically after some time, but I will keep it open while I'm here.

Example: We have 10 different customers(ids) with the same email address. Each has one successful payment. How we can use one customer, move payments from 9 others to this one and delete those other 9 customers. We want to clear duplicate customers, but currently each has one successful payment attached to it.

#

you can't really, you can't move payments or objects from one customer to another. You'd just have to build some workaround layer over it in your database representation of the user("this user is associated with these 10 Stripe Customer objects")

#

you can just prevent it happening in future (by implementing checks like searching for existing customers with a given email address before calling customer.create(), etc)
