[FIXED] How to retrieve customers by email in node.js (Stripe)

Issue

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.

Solution

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 a limit 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.
