Common causes

  • There were multiple requests to create a customer with the same email.
  • A third-party integration you have authorized may be attempting to create a customer that already exists.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure that you don't send multiple requests to create a customer with the same email.
  • Get the id of the existing customer from the response and use that for other requests.
