Hi! So you want the CheckoutSession to always create a new customer? Then pass customer_creation: "always" as mentioned here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer_creation

Yes, I found this document. I have many payments through Payment Links. I tried to use Export function in Payments page but no data about customer. How I can setup customer creation for payment links?

#

I tried on a test account and it set to "always". But in Live account, it's "if_required"

Are you creating Checkout Sessions or Payment Links?

#

I created Payment Links. I need to export all succeeded payments

#

So you are listing all your Payment Links, and try to find the corresponding customers?

plucky girder Mar 4, 2022, 9:56 AM

#

yes, my purpose is get the data of customer through payments

#

Got it! Let me look into this.

#

I saw all customers saved as Guest

Sorry for the delay, Discord is quite busy.

#

Could you share a link to one of your Payment Link? Or your account id (It's at the top of this page: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/account)?

#

My account: benefitpocket.com.au

#

This is my payment link: https://buy.stripe.com/8wM29j6KG90xgnKfZb

#

Got it! So yes this looks like this is the expected behaviour. For payment link, customer_creation is set to if_required and cannot be changed.

#

So a guest customer will be created, and you can learn more about this here: https://support.stripe.com/questions/guest-customer-faq

#

If you want more control over the customer creation process, then I would recommend using Checkout Session instead.

#

But I tried on my test account: Benefit Development

#

customer creation is set to "always"

#

Here is a link of test account: https://buy.stripe.com/test_fZe6pP4hQ4fweic00D

#

That makes sense, because that's something that changed recently with the API.
So one of your account has the old behaviour ("always") and one account has the new behaviour ("if_required")

#

You could try to send a message to Stripe support explaining your situation, and see if they can make your two accounts behave the same way. https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true
