createPaymentFlow does not work without defining a customerId

[tanrax]

If customerId is null or not present, it does not work. However, if an empty string is assigned, it works again.

Does not work

const results = await Stripe.createPaymentFlow({
  paymentIntentClientSecret: paymentIntent.client_secret,
  customerEphemeralKeySecret: paymentIntent.id
});
await Stripe.presentPaymentFlow();

Work.

const results = await Stripe.createPaymentFlow({
  paymentIntentClientSecret: paymentIntent.client_secret,
  customerEphemeralKeySecret: paymentIntent.id,
  customerId: ''
});
await Stripe.presentPaymentFlow();

Thanks for issue. I did not envision a case where customerEphemeralKeySecret was available and customerId could not be obtained. Only a simple check is performed here.

What is the specific use case where customerId does not exist?

[tanrax]

According to the documentation, the customer is optional with the following description:

customer optional

ID of the Customer this PaymentIntent belongs to, if one exists.
Payment methods attached to other Customers cannot be used with this PaymentIntent.

I assume, and correct me if I am wrong, that a payment can be made without a customer.

@tanrax Oh, you are right. PaymentSheet and PaymentFlow must customer optional. I will fix as soon as possible.
