Introduction

In a recent update to our eCommerce platform, we faced an issue with handling stale Stripe customer IDs during the checkout process. When users referenced a deleted Stripe customer, our application would encounter errors that disrupted the checkout experience. To improve the user journey, we implemented a solution that gracefully handles this scenario.

The Challenge
