Hi there

That's right, Customer and PaymentMethod objects used for direct charges must be located within the connected accounts

It's possible to clone payment methods from your platform account to your connected account: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cloning-customers-across-accounts

Do I have to "clone" the stripe customers over to the connected account too then?

also which param do I need to pass in to create a Stripe Customer in the connected account? I did not see anything to that affect in the Stripe::Customer.create documentation

[dull mica]

You'll create a customer on the connected account, then clone the payment method and attach it to the newly-created customer object

You'll pass along stripe_connected_account, as listed here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cloning-customers-across-accounts#creating-charges

Just one quick step back here: we recommend using direct charges with Standard connected accounts only. Destination charges should be used with Express and Custom connected accounts.

Yes, our connected account is a Standard one

And great, thank you so much for answer my question and linking to the page
