The customer's address. Learn about country-specific requirements for calculating tax.

An integer amount in cents (or local equivalent) that represents the customer's current balance, which affect the customer's future invoices. A negative amount represents a credit that decreases the amount due on an invoice; a positive amount increases the amount due on an invoice.

The customer's business name. This may be up to *150 characters*.

Balance information and default balance settings for this customer.

An arbitrary string that you can attach to a customer object. It is displayed alongside the customer in the dashboard.

Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

The customer's full name or business name.

The sequence to be used on the customer's next invoice. Defaults to 1.

The customer's phone number.

Customer's preferred languages, ordered by preference.

The customer's shipping information. Appears on invoices emailed to this customer.

The customer's tax IDs.

ID of the test clock to attach to the customer.

The customer's address.

The current balance, if any, that's stored on the customer in their default currency. If negative, the customer has credit to apply to their next invoice. If positive, the customer has an amount owed that's added to their next invoice. The balance only considers amounts that Stripe hasn't successfully applied to any invoice. It doesn't reflect unpaid invoices. This balance is only taken into account after invoices finalize. For multi-currency balances, see invoice_credit_balance.

The customer's business name.

The current funds being held by Stripe on behalf of the customer. You can apply these funds towards payment intents when the source is "cash_balance". The settings[reconciliation_mode] field describes if these funds apply to these payment intents manually or automatically.

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

Three-letter ISO code for the currency the customer can be charged in for recurring billing purposes.

The ID of an Account representing a customer. You can use this ID with any v1 API that accepts a customer_account parameter.

ID of the default payment source for the customer. If you use payment methods created through the PaymentMethods API, see the invoice_settings.default_payment_method field instead.

Tracks the most recent state change on any invoice belonging to the customer. Paying an invoice or marking it uncollectible via the API will set this field to false. An automatic payment failure or passing the invoice.due_date will set this field to true. If an invoice becomes uncollectible by dunning, delinquent doesn't reset to false. If you care whether the customer has paid their most recent subscription invoice, use subscription.status instead. Paying or marking uncollectible any customer invoice regardless of whether it is the latest invoice for a subscription will always set this field to false.

An arbitrary string attached to the object. Often useful for displaying to users.

Describes the current discount active on the customer, if there is one.

The customer's email address.

Unique identifier for the object.

The customer's individual name.

The current multi-currency balances, if any, that's stored on the customer. If positive in a currency, the customer has a credit to apply to their next invoice denominated in that currency. If negative, the customer has an amount owed that's added to their next invoice denominated in that currency. These balances don't apply to unpaid invoices. They solely track amounts that Stripe hasn't successfully applied to any invoice. Stripe only applies a balance in a specific currency to an invoice after that invoice (which is in the same currency) finalizes.

The prefix for the customer used to generate unique invoice numbers.

If the object exists in live mode, the value is true. If the object exists in test mode, the value is false.
