• If the customer is logged in and the Save Card feature is enabled 

• We create a new customer & then use the newly generated customer id to create charge, if the customer opts to use a new card.
• If customer opts to use saved card, we then get the customer whose last 4 card digits & the email id matches with that of the saved card and use that retrieved customer id to create charge.
