hi there!

Hi Soma

#

correct, the API can only list real customers, not guests customers

#

can you share a specific PaymentIntent ID with an email address you are interested in?

mental crow Nov 19, 2024, 10:02 AM

#

Sure let me get one

mortal marsh Nov 19, 2024, 10:13 AM

#

yes I confirm pi_3QHOZGJIye6pnJ5a1jMyI5wA this is using a guest customer

#

(I just deleted your message to hide the email address, since this is a public channel)

mental crow Nov 19, 2024, 10:14 AM

#

apologies, I should have used a mailinator email address, thank you for deleting.

#

Just to confirm, there is no way around this, I'll need to use our own data instead of going direct through the API in this instance?

#

If I list all the paymentintents is there a way of displaying the email address associated with the payment?

#

Will that come back in the list?

#

having a look

mental crow Nov 19, 2024, 10:22 AM

#

Thanks

#

looks like the email is stored in the description field of the PaymentIntent, so at least you could get it like this.

#

yes thank you, I can see that when you open the payment on the dashboard there is a Charged to 'email address', does this value come from somewhere? Maybe if I get the list of charges instead?

#

no, that's our concept of a "guest customer" and it's not in the API at the moment. The idea is based on the IP address/card fingerprint we 'think' it's a payment from an existing customer with that address

#

looking at it though it seems like nonsense or it doesn't work for the way your payments are setup so I'd kind of ignore it

#

ah it 's because it's test mode, so everyone has the same card. I suppose it works better in live mode

mental crow Nov 19, 2024, 10:32 AM

#

ah ok, that's fine, I can work with the data we capture when the payment was created and filter on email there as opposed to going direct to the api

rugged slate Nov 19, 2024, 10:32 AM

#

but yeah either way, that's not an API concept.
If you strongly need the customer email address, I'd suggest explicitly collecting it in your checkout flow and passing it to the API(for example to billing_details[email] https://docs.stripe.com/js/payment_intents/confirm_payment#confirm_payment_intent-options-confirmParams-payment_method_data-billing_details )

#

or as you say, if you have it in the description field of the PI you can parse it out from there too
