would you mind elaborating more

[dusky siren]

Sure ，Wait a moment pls

When we create a checkout session, we need to define the id of our customer, and we need Stripe to automatically create a customer for the new user id. How should we configure the parameters?

We use Stripe for organizational subscriptions on our SAAS platform, one Stripe customer corresponds to one organization on our SAAS platform. How should we achieve this?

[urban sentinel]

you can pass the https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-client_reference_id

[dusky siren]

I‘ve checked this document

I didn't find a parameter to achieve my goul

goal

Oh, you mean this one [client_reference_id]?

[urban sentinel]

yes

[dusky siren]

Here's what I expect: When a new user subscribes, Stripe creates a new user based on this parameter, and Stripe may maintain a Stripe customer id; When you subscribe again, the client reference id is the same, and the Stripe automatically corresponds to the Stripe customer id that has been created. Am I getting this right?

[urban sentinel]

that's not possible automatically with Checkout Sessions

what you need to do is to find the customer before creating the Checkout Session and if it exists pass it to the Checkout Session upon creation

[dusky siren]

ok, I will explain my requirements separately. My requirements are as follows: We have multiple organizations with multiple users. Each user in the organization may make a purchase, but the service purchased by any user is bound to the organization. Since a Stripe customer corresponds to a SAAS organization, we use the Stripe customer portal for organizational subscription management.

So your suggestion is that we need to check before we create a session, does the current organization have a customer id created in Stripe?

[urban sentinel]

yes correct

[dusky siren]

Could you pls provide a link of the document?

[urban sentinel]

there is no specific doc about this

but I guess I could summarize the steps for you
1- Search for a customer that has a metadata.reference_id = x
https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/search
2.a- if customer exists create a Checkout Session and pass the customer Id https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer
2.b- else you create the Checkout Session and pass the client_reference_id
3. using webhooks listen to the checkout.session.completed event
4. If the checkout session has a client_reference_id update the newly created customer's metadata.reference_id with the client_reference_id

[dusky siren]

I wanna know this parameter's function

customer-creation

[unreal badger]

Hey! Taking over for my colleague. What is not clear exactly ?

[dusky siren]

Too complex. We don't have another solution, do we?

[unreal badger]

No, I don't see other option honestly...
