Instance Attribute Details

#address ⇒ Object (readonly)

The customer’s address.



801
802
803
 
# File 'lib/stripe/resources/customer.rb', line 801

def address
  @address
end

#balance ⇒ Object (readonly)

The current balance, if any, that’s 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’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.



803
804
805
 
# File 'lib/stripe/resources/customer.rb', line 803

def balance
  @balance
end

#cash_balance ⇒ Object (readonly)

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` field describes if these funds apply to these payment intents manually or automatically.



805
806
807
 
# File 'lib/stripe/resources/customer.rb', line 805

def cash_balance
  @cash_balance
end

#created ⇒ Object (readonly)

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



807
808
809
 
# File 'lib/stripe/resources/customer.rb', line 807

def created
  @created
end

#currency ⇒ Object (readonly)

Three-letter [ISO code for the currency](stripe.com/docs/currencies) the customer can be charged in for recurring billing purposes.



809
810
811
 
# File 'lib/stripe/resources/customer.rb', line 809

def currency
  @currency
end

#default_source ⇒ Object (readonly)

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](stripe.com/docs/api/customers/object#customer_object-invoice_settings-default_payment_method) field instead.



813
814
815
 
# File 'lib/stripe/resources/customer.rb', line 813

def default_source
  @default_source
end

#deleted ⇒ Object (readonly)

Always true for a deleted object



863
864
865
 
# File 'lib/stripe/resources/customer.rb', line 863

def deleted
  @deleted
end

#delinquent ⇒ Object (readonly)

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](stripe.com/docs/billing/automatic-collection), ‘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`.



819
820
821
 
# File 'lib/stripe/resources/customer.rb', line 819

def delinquent
  @delinquent
end

#description ⇒ Object (readonly)

end

#invoice_credit_balance ⇒ Object (readonly)

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.

end

.update(customer, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Updates the specified customer by setting the values of the parameters passed. Any parameters not provided will be left unchanged. For example, if you pass the source parameter, that becomes the customer’s active source (e.g., a card) to be used for all charges in the future. When you update a customer to a new valid card source by passing the source parameter: for each of the customer’s current subscriptions, if the subscription bills automatically and is in the past_due state, then the latest open invoice for the subscription with automatic collection enabled will be retried. This retry will not count as an automatic retry, and will not affect the next regularly scheduled payment for the invoice. Changing the default_source for a customer will not trigger this behavior.

This request accepts mostly the same arguments as the customer creation call.
