I installed Firebase stripe extension. Every time user is created, the extension creates stripeId.

I created buttons to buy subscription plans

<a class="btn btn-primary" href="https://buy.stripe.com/test_5kA8x65CAeF23Cg8ww" role="button">BASIC</a>
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="https://buy.stripe.com/test_7sI00A0igbsQ4Gk7st" role="button">Premium</a>

How to pass user stripeId in link, so Stripe knows which customers buy it?

Now even customer use the same email, Stripe creates new customer.

Solution

When using Payment Links, you can pass some URL parameters like client_reference_id and prefilled_email as mentioned in this doc. However this will still create a new customer object every time someone make a purchase.

If you want to reuse existing customer objects, you cannnot use Payment Links. Instead you should use Checkout Sessions and set the customer parameter.
