hello @vale epoch! not that i'm aware of

vale epoch Sep 9, 2021, 7:23 AM

#

hey alex, good to see you again, thank you

#

so i'll have to get list based on email and if result is empty create a new client?

#

@vale epoch are you referring to a Customer? typically the Customer would correspond to a user in your database. Oftentimes, applications make use of the email to uniquely identify a user. You would check whether that email exists for a user in your own database, and then create a new Customer if it doesn't

#

you're right, yes, i meant customer

#

yes, the customer exists in our db, but maybe not on stripe

#

say if it's the customer's first time buying our product

#

we want to keep future payments linked to the same stripe user, right?

amber fractal Sep 9, 2021, 7:32 AM

#

ideally yes

vale epoch Sep 9, 2021, 7:32 AM

#

ok, i see what you mean

#

we need to use the stripe customer id

#

if we already have it in our db we use that to retrieve the customer, otherwise create new

#

yep!

#

hey alex, i don't know if enough people tell you this, but you guys do amazing work. you're patient and generous

#

just wanted to let you know that we appreciate it, even though probably not enough people say it

#

keep it up
