get customer

This block is part of the stripe group and was last modified in core v15.0.0.

get customer stripeconnection v15.0.0

Reads a Stripe customer. A customer deleted in Stripe comes back as a tombstone rather than an error : this block reports that as CUSTOMER_DELETED instead of handing back an almost-empty object that looks live.

stripe customer

customer balance

The mirror of creating one. The customer_id comes off your own document through get fields, and get customer reads the live record from Stripe. Read it when you need what Stripe knows now, for example the balance or the current email; for anything you display on every page, keep your own copy and refresh it from a webhook rather than calling out on each render.

Version history

Introduced in v15.0.0.
