Hi, can you share a bit more about your use case here? Why would not we use the customer's email address?
reef oyster
We do some user association with the stripe customer email in our system. We would like to let the user customize another email as well as billing detail that will be used by the subscription without interfering with the main customer email
Should we maintain an internal billing detail object and update the default payment method of the subscription each time the payment method change ? It seems overkill process
pulsar flare
How are you integating with Stripe?
reef oyster
only with the subscriptions api

If you're using PaymentElements on the front end, you can pass in the billing email: https://docs.stripe.com/js/payment_intents/confirm_payment#confirm_payment_intent-options-confirmParams-payment_method_data-billing_details when you confirm payment. I just tested this and the customer email address has not changed.
The email address on the customer is where these emails will be sent
But you can manually configure an additional billing address: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/send-email#additional-email-recipients
However, that would send the emails to both
There is not a way to customize the billing email to recieve these emails like you imagined.

So if I maintain an uptodate email address in the payment method (inside billing_details) that belong to my subscription. The user would receveive emails in both emails (the customer one + the one from the payment method) ?

Stripe API doesn’t currently support adding recipients to Billing emails but you can manually add that via the Dashboard.
Othewrside, what you said is correct
reef oyster
When we modify via the dashboard, in which objects is it stored, is it then retrievable by any api ?Or is is stored in object we do not have access?
