Hi there!

Are you creating Checkout Sessions and creating a brand-new customer object or are you also passing a value for customer? If you have a request ID for a Checkout Session you recently created, that would be helpful too

Currently we’re trying to create new customers. When this functionality works we will also use the customer object.

I see. The reason I ask is because, under some conditions, a customer's saved payment details (including billing address) will be prepopulated: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer

https://support.stripe.com/questions/prefilling-saved-cards-in-checkout

That said, it's not possible to prefill the billing address fields with data from your backend when creating a Checkout Session

[verbal crypt]

Clear. So if I understand correct: if the customer is already known (has a customer id), then the details are used from the previous checkout.
For new customers, they have to enter the info in stripe checkout again.

then the details are used from the previous checkout
Potentially, yes. Depends on the mode, whether or not saved_payment_method_options.payment_method_save was used when they first saved a payment method, and whether the customer actually opted to save their payment details for future use

[verbal crypt]

Clear. I can continue from here. Thank you!
