It's a feature: If we shared people's email address with Stripe, we would need a privacy policy that stated this + a checkbox to agree because 1) an email is PII, 2) people cannot reasonably assume that we share their email if they click a button that says "Pay".

Many people also sign up with username+datacoop@provider.tld

But to answer the question: Yes, Stripe does support this: https://docs.stripe.com/api/checkout/sessions/create#create_checkout_session-customer_email

I was wondering if anyone would disagree with this, but I think that when we choose between user convenience and privacy, then privacy will probably always win :)

Unfortunately Stripe also doesn't support removing the email field entirely.

However, a "funny" way to fix it would be to supply Stripe with a /dev/null email address, thus hiding the field 🙃

I agree privacy is more important. The latter approach also sounds interesting!

Let's keep this open! Maybe we would provide privacy-shielded emails for members some day? Here's a good use-case!

(but we also don't want to violate Stripe TOS and get blocked)
