hi there!

no what you are describing is not possible.

you could store the company name as metadata on the Customer object

so you would still have access to it, even if Checkout Session overrides the name property.

but what would happen if you set customer_update[name] to never?

It throws this error upon the checkout creation:

{
"error": {
"message": "Tax ID collection requires updating business name on the customer. To enable tax ID collection for an existing customer, please set customer_update[name] to auto.",
"request_log_url": "https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs/req_zUT9oZnrIOz0f8?t=1751631863",
"type": "invalid_request_error"
}
}
