retrieve customer by email address stripe node.js

Question

I have this:

const customer = await stripe.customers.retrieve(
  'info@myemail.com'
);

I'm trying to get the customer number (id) of the customer based on the email address. Is this possible through stripe? It gives me an error when I do this.

Answer 1

You will need to use https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/list and it will return a list of customers with that particular email address.

const customers = await stripe.customers.list({
  email: 'info@myemail.com',
});

Note that there is alimit on the number of objects to be returned. You should make use of auto pagination in case there is a large number of customers with the same email.

Answer 2

Using "list()" and "search()" , you can get customers by email with these Node.js code below:

const customers = await stripe.customers.list({
  email:"info@myemail.com",
});

const customers = await stripe.customers.search({
  query:"email:'info@myemail.com'",
});

You can also limit customers to get with "limit" parameter as shown below:

const customers = await stripe.customers.list({
  email:"info@myemail.com",
  limit: 3,
});

const customers = await stripe.customers.search({
  query:"email:'info@myemail.com'",
  limit: 3,
});
