So the biggest issue here with Subscriptions is that on_behalf_of is not generally available with Subscriptions. Setting on_behalf_of is what dictates that your Connected Account info is what will display to your end-customers (like Statement Descriptors). As opposed to your platform info. So the first step here would be to reach out to our Support team (https://support.stripe.com/contact/login) and inquire for whether your account would satisfy the requirements for using on_behalf_of with Subscriptions.

Happy to talk about the other pieces here, but you likely won't want to move forward without the above.

Actually I would like to talk through them a bit now I need to have an answer on how big of a lift it is by 5:30

Sure happy to do that.

So for 1/ - yes pretty much. You would want transfer_data and on_behalf_of.

For 2/ - you can't do this. You would need to recreate the Subscriptions on your platform.

So we couldn't use billing portal for those customers

For 3/ - The other biggest change here is that the processing fees will now take place on your platform instead of the Connected Account. So you'll want to adjust your application fee (or the amount that you transfer) to take that into account if you so desire.

You would need the Customers to be on your platform and then you can use Billing Portal just like you do currently.

so there is absolutely no tool to convert the existing subscriptions to destination charges, which means unless we end and convert those clients ourselves we can't use billing portal

Currently the Subscriptions exist on the Connected Accounts. You can't just move a Subscription between accounts. So, the only way to "migrate" them would be to recreate them on the platform.
