Stripe checkout - Remove or make email field read only

I'm using stripe checkout as described in https://stripe.com/docs/payments/checkout

On the server side, I create a new stripe customer (if there isn't one already), and use that customer id to create a checkout session. and then redirect to checkout using stripe api

stripe.redirectToCheckout({
  // Make the id field from the Checkout Session creation API response
  // available to this file, so you can provide it as parameter here
  // instead of the {{CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}} placeholder.
  sessionId: '{{CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}}'
}).then(function (result) {
  // If `redirectToCheckout` fails due to a browser or network
  // error, display the localized error message to your customer
  // using `result.error.message`.
});

in the checkout page (which is stripe hosted), there is a email field which is pre populated, but is editable. I have had customers changing that email address. Is there a way I can make the email address on stripe checkout readonly field?

Solution

  • I got an email from stripe today

    We are disabling customers’ ability to overwrite their email address Starting October 26, customers can no longer edit their email address after you pass it into a Checkout Session. We’ve made this change to prevent duplicative subscriptions from being created by accident for existing customers and prevent unexpected updates to the Customer object during Checkout.

    And here it is in all its glory
