DESCRIPTION

From the documentation:

Stripe Customer objects allow you to perform recurring charges, and to track multiple charges, that are associated with the same customer. The API allows you to create, delete, and update your customers. You can retrieve individual customers as well as a list of all your customers.

CONSTRUCTOR

new( %ARG ): Creates a new Net::API::Stripe::Customer object. It may also take an hash like arguments, that also are method of the same name.

METHODS

address hash

The customer’s address. This is a Net::API::Stripe::Address object.

balance integer

Current balance, if any, being stored on the customer. If negative, the customer has credit to apply to their next invoice. If positive, the customer has an amount owed that will be added to their next invoice. The balance does not refer to any unpaid invoices; it solely takes into account amounts that have yet to be successfully applied to any invoice. This balance is only taken into account as invoices are finalized.

It seems that as of 2019-10-16, it is not in Stripe API, but it was seen in Stripe response.

If you provide a coupon code, the customer will have a discount applied on all recurring charges. Charges you create through the API will not have the discount.

This is used only when creating a customer object.

Time at which the object was created. Measured in seconds since the Unix epoch.

deleted

A flag that is being used, but not part of the API documentation.

source optional

A Token’s (https://stripe.com/docs/api#tokens) or a Source’s (https://stripe.com/docs/api#sources) ID, as returned by Elements (https://stripe.com/docs/elements). Passing source will create a new source object, make it the new customer default source, and delete the old customer default if one exists. If you want to add additional sources instead of replacing the existing default, use the card creation API (https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_card). Whenever you attach a card to a customer, Stripe will automatically validate the card.
