How do I delete a Stripe customer?
Short answer: You can delete customer in Stripe by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Stripe Delete Customer action to a workflow, map its 1 input from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Customer ID customer_id | string | Required | Stripe customer ID — starts with 'cus_'. Find via List Customers. |
Sample request
{"customer_id": "e.g. cus_NffrFeUfNV2Hib"}
Returns
{"id": "cus_abc","deleted": true}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Delete Customer.
What does the Delete Customer action do in Stripe?
Deletes a Stripe customer permanently. Also cancels any active subscriptions for that customer. Use for GDPR right-to-delete requests.
What inputs does Delete Customer require?
Required: Customer ID. 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 Delete Customer support batch operations?
Run Delete 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.
