For context I have a stripe subscriptions based product so I am only monitoring the events related to that product line (anything related to subscriptions, customers, invoices)

Hi there, are you asking if customer filed is always non-empty for invoice, subscription and checkout session objects?
covert path
Yeah for any objects related to stripe subscriptions if the customer id will always be present
I assume so?
sly kayak
https://docs.stripe.com/api/subscriptions/create?lang=ruby#create_subscription-customer yes customer is required for subscription
covert path
Will the customer object (when retrieved from stripe api) always have the product id / price_XXXX value?
sly kayak
No, customer objects aren't associated with products or prices
covert path
even after a customer has purchased a product?
The core question I have is what attribute should I be using for the following:
Let's say I have 5 products in my stripe account. Each product is for a different client we service as a Stripe Connect Platform.
Each product may have X subscribers. For each subscriber, I need to identify which product they are subscribed to and provision access to that specific product based on the stripe events (active subscriber, cancelled, etc)
sly kayak
OK, so your question is about what webhook event that you should listen to so that you can provision access / disable access for the corresponding customer?
covert path
No, more specifically what attribute I can use that is consistently available across events
I was planning on using the price_XXX value before but I realized that attribute was not consistently available across events since the price__XXX would give me an indication of what specific product the customer was subscribed to

I still don't quite understand what you want to achieve, but I'd recommend you reading this doc https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/webhooks#state-changes to understand more about using webhooks for subscriptions
covert path
I've already read this
I understand how to provision or deprovision access to the product based on the events
I am asking a different question here: Given that I have 5 products which each have a distinct set of customers, based on a given stripe event, what attribute should i use to identify what product that event is related to
sly kayak
There's no direct relationship between product and customers. If you want, you can form a relationship by adding the product ID to the customer's metadata, so that you can achieve the product ID from the customer object.
