hi there!

sturdy iron
#

hello!

tight girder
#

the request you shared is indeed updating an existing customer with a new email address

sturdy iron
#

hmm so why do I see two entries when I search for the customer name?

#

before updating, I only see one

tight girder
#

what are the two customers you see? can you share their ID?

sturdy iron
#

yes one sec

#

hmmmm, I think the email I changed it to, there was already an existing customer with that email

#

does that have to do with why I see two entries?

tight girder
#

looks like it. one was created this month, the other last month.

sturdy iron
#

yeaah

#

hmm, so thats probably why I see two customers right?

tight girder
#

but these customers seemt o be using different emails?

#

where exactly do you see the two customers? in the Stripe dashboard?

#

after you searched for the email?

sturdy iron
#

I search for the customer name

#

so what I want is

#

when I search for the customer name, that customer to popup

#

in this case, the customer I wanted to update was called Hozier

#

it had an email email1

#

I updated it to email2

#

turns out email2 already existed on Stripe as a separate customer

#

now what has happened instead is that both cus 1 & 2 have the name Hozier

tight girder
#

well they have the same name, so it's expected that you see the two customers when searching for their name

sturdy iron
#

I see, so basically email is kind of an identifier in Stripe?

#

its not as if it is just another field in the customer object

#

emails are supposed to be singleton

#

thats why when I update it to something which already exists, it will first search if there is a customer already

#

and it basically updated the name of email2 to match Hozier

tight girder
#

I'm confused. you can create as many Customers as you'd like in Stripe, with zero restrictions on their name and/or email. like you could have 300 Customers obejcts all with the same name and email and it will work

sturdy iron
#

so here's the thing, I will explain again

#

there are two customers - 1 and 2

#

customer 1's name is Hozier

#

customer 2 - Idk, not relevant (but not Hozier)

#

customer1 has email id email1 and customer2 has email id email2

#

I update customer-1's email to email2

#

now there are two accounts with their email as email2 (atleast what I expect)

#

now I search for customers with name Hozier again

#

I see two customers

#

why?

#

earlier there was only one

tight girder
#

it's your code who sets the name of these two customers.

#

if that's not expected, you need to review your code.

sturdy iron
#

I see

#

thanks for the logs, I will check what my code is doing

tight girder
#

happy to help 🙂

sturdy iron
#

btw is there a timeout for this thread to close?

#

if yes, what is it?

lunar obsidianBOT
tight girder
#

it depends, but after ~20 minutes of inactivity we usually close a thread

sturdy iron
#

seems that the issue is fixed

#

thank you @tight girder
