Identifying the Symptom

When integrating Checkout.com into your application, you might encounter the error message: Invalid Customer ID. This error typically appears when attempting to process a payment or retrieve customer information.

Exploring the Issue

The Invalid Customer ID error indicates that the customer ID provided in the API request is not recognized by Checkout.com's system. This could be due to a typo, an incorrect ID, or a customer ID that does not exist in your Checkout.com account.

  • Using a customer ID that has been deleted or never existed.
  • Incorrect mapping of customer IDs in your application.

Steps to Fix the Issue

Ensure that the customer ID you are using is correct. Double-check for any typographical errors. You can retrieve the correct customer ID from your Checkout.com dashboard.

Step 2: Check Customer Existence

Confirm that the customer ID exists in your Checkout.com account. You can use the Retrieve a Customer API endpoint to verify the existence of the customer ID:

GET /customers/{customer_id}

If the customer does not exist, you will need to create a new customer using the Create a Customer endpoint.

Step 3: Update Your Application

Ensure that your application is correctly mapping and storing customer IDs. If there are discrepancies, update your database or application logic to reflect the correct IDs.

Step 4: Test the Integration
