Hello! To create a Checkout Session for an existing Customer you need to set the customer parameter on the Checkout Session to the ID of the Customer in question. It's not based on email address.

#

on Stripe, do you know how we can merge the customers since we use the email address to create new checkout sessions?

lament cipher Dec 20, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

It's not possible to merge Customers.

Do you know why certain product and price do not have any plan id associated with them?

lament cipher Dec 20, 2024, 5:17 PM

#

Plans are an older, legacy concept. They were replaced with Prices. Everything is backwards compatible, though, so you can use Plans as Prices.

thanks!

One question related to "merging customer" -- since we have created a new checkout session using the existing customer emails, but it's creating new records, we are trying to see if there is a way to migrate the invoice payment from the new customer record to the pre-existing one?

lament cipher Dec 20, 2024, 5:31 PM

#

There is not. You'd need to void the existing Invoice and create a new Invoice for the existing Customer.

#

ohh no

#

the invoice is already paid

lament cipher Dec 20, 2024, 5:41 PM

#

Ah, then no, there's nothing you can do.
