Example of linking an existing Stripe customer with a NetSuite customer, and creating a new NetSuite customer with custom field data, using http://SuiteSync.io/

stripe_netsuite_metadata_example.rb

# Michael Bianco <mike@suitesync.io>

require 'stripe'

# Replace this test mode key and run this example on your account

Stripe.api_key = 'sk_test_123'

# Create a new Stripe customer, and prevent the creation of a new NetSuite customer
# by linking the Stripe customer with a NetSuite Customer internalID using the Stripe
# Customer's metadata.

existing_customer = Stripe::Customer.create(
  :description => "Sample Stripe NetSuite Customer",
  :email => "existing-netsuite@example.com",
  :metadata => {
    'netsuite_customer_id' => 123
  }
)

# The above approach can be used to link existing Stripe customers by retrieving
# the existing Stripe customer and specifying the `netsuite_customer_id` metadata key
# before the NetSuite integration is enabled on your account. For example:

# customer = Stripe::Customer.retrieve('cus_123')
# customer.metadata['netsuite_customer_id'] = 123
# customer.save

# Create a new Stripe customer and provide additional NetSuite field data for
# the NetSuite customer to be created

customer = Stripe::Customer.create(
  # `description` is used as the name of the NetSuite customer
  # https://dashboard.suitesync.io/docs/customers#creating-a-individual-customer
  description: "New NetSuite Customer",
  
  # email can be used for automatic duplicate detection
