Hello! That depends entirely on your integration I guess. The API will respond to your request with the new Customer object that you can use how you please

#

Or you can listen for customer.created events via a webhook and action accordingly

#

I do not have time for the created webhook... I need to use the customer ID in a subscription checkout that they just triggered

#

I check my database for their customer ID, if it doesnt exist. It makes one for them, then uses that.

#

https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create following this, I have created a user, but I do not have the customer ID, or know where it is sending the response to

Stripe API reference – Create a customer

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

To be honest I am not sure if it even sends that customer object to stripe to process yet

#

This is the bare bones

#

Sounds like you need to make a call to your DB to persist the Customer object ID you just created with Stripe then

#

Yes, but how do I do that, is that code instantly creating the customer? And how do I retrieve the ID?

#

Give the stripe->customers->create call a variable then you can use the response in the Checkout Session call
