HI Tarzan - so guest users are stuck? We lose the history etc?

#

I thought stripe might tie them together once a customer object is created but it didnt do anything when I created them manually

raven mauve Apr 5, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

actually if you create a new customer and they use the same card you would have the payments associated with that card/guest customer show on your customer page on the dashboard

limber moon Apr 5, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

Yea it says related payments

raven mauve Apr 5, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

but they would never be copied to the newly created customer

limber moon Apr 5, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

But they dont seem to get picked up when I run the sync

raven mauve Apr 5, 2024, 11:02 AM

#

I'm not sure I understand

limber moon Apr 5, 2024, 11:03 AM

#

I'm using the Xero app sync plugin. When I manually migrate it only picks up the empty customer

#

Any idea if this will create duplicate customers or find a match if repeatedly used? https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-customer_creation

#

We could probably live with losing previous historical payments if the above would work

raven mauve Apr 5, 2024, 11:08 AM

#

I'm not sure how that plugin works

#

as for the payment links are you proposing one-off payments on recurring/subscriptions?

limber moon Apr 5, 2024, 11:10 AM

#

Lots of one-off payments

#

Basically, we're a product for plumbers/electricians etc. We've added payment links so they can charge customers or other tradies.

#

if you really want to use existing customers you should either use Checkout Sessions or Buy Buttons instead of PaymentLinks
