use Stripe\Customer as StripeCustomer in Controller throws Error
Hi Everyone, I am having an issue trying to use StripeCustomer in a controller. I need to retrieve a customer from Stripe. So I have on my controller : use Stripe\Customer as StripeCustomer; I see in cashier's Billable.php being used this way. But I try to use it in the controller I get
Could not determine which URL to request: Stripe\Customer instance has invalid ID: Any ideas how to use Stripe\Customer within a controller? Is there a scope of namespace? Thanks in advance.

You're not providing much context, but from the error you posted it seems like the issue is not importing the class but how you're using it.

Well I am declaring the Stripe\Customer like this:
use Stripe\Customer as StripeCustomer;
And Im using it in my function like this:
$stripeCustomer = StripeCustomer::retrieve($admin->stripe_id);
I saw on the Billable calls that Stripe is being called like that :
use Stripe\Customer as StripeCustomer;

Can you dd($admin->stripe_id)?

Yes @Francismori7 it returns the id of one of my test customers "cus_8gQFFsLjewyhiW" I am fetching and $admin from my DB who has already done a charge, he has a customer id which is what I'm trying to add to a new subscription. But before I do that I'd like to make sure that I can fetch the same customer from Stripe and verify the customer id.

Im beginning to think maybe require() will be easier.

Did you make sure the Customer ID and the Stripe keys are for the same Stripe environment and account?

I am using the ones in ENV.
