How do I create a Stripe customer?

Short answer: You can create customer in Stripe by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Stripe Create Customer action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Customer.

What does the Create Customer action do in Stripe?

Creates a new Stripe customer with email, name, phone, address, and metadata. Required before creating a subscription or saving a payment method.

What inputs does Create Customer require?

Required: Email. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Stripe returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Stripe returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Create Customer support batch operations?

Run Create Customer inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Stripe's rate limits.
