Managing Customers in Stripe

Stripe transactions start and revolve around a object; analogous to our own 'CRM record'. This arrangement allows you to perform recurring charges and track multiple charges that are associated with the same customer, among other transactions.

Stripe does not require any fields for the object. This is because all data is related using (i.e. customer id, credit card id, etc.). It is strongly suggested to pass at least basic CRM data such as email address and name (full name) if they are available.

It is strongly recommended to save and relate Stripe's customer ID to your CRM record. This action can be done by using models or user profiles.
