Hi 👋 the type of account that you want to select is largely going to depend on the experience that you're trying to build, and coincides directly with the type of charge that you're interested in using.
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges

Do you know whether you're looking to leverage Direct Charges, where your customers directly interact with your Connected Accounts, or would you prefer to use Destination Charges where your Customers work directly with your Platform?

(Also a small note, usually Connected Accounts aren't used to represent customers, but instead typically represent a third-party that is involved in the process (such as a vendor, merchant, or service provider).

I wanted to use in that way because I need to create a customer account to create invoice and save the method payment of the company's customer

A company use my platform to receive payment from there customers but I want to save customers payment method and create invoices

[wanton verge]

Just making sure I'm understanding your scenario correctly.

There is:

• You (the Platform)
• Your Customers (the Connected Accounts)
• Your Customers' customers (Customers of the Connected Accounts)

Is that right?

[mighty knot]

yes

[wanton verge]

Gotcha cool

So in your scenario, the end-customers, do you want them to have the experience that they're working with your platform (similar to ride-sharing or food delivery services) or do you want them to feel like they're working directly with your customers?

[mighty knot]

yeah

exactly

[wanton verge]

Which one?

[mighty knot]

"do you want them to feel like they're working directly with your customers?"

Sorry

[wanton verge]

Gotcha, no worries! In that case you're probably interested in using Direct Charges, and for those we recommend using Standard Connected Accounts.

I would recommend that you take a closer look at the details of Direct Charges though to ensure they do align with the flow that you're trying to build:

One more thing, how can I remove the line 'pay online' on PDF invoices ?

Actually I set the invoice paid_out_of_band: true because most of time users pay in cash

[wanton verge]

paid_out_of_band is the correct parameter to use when you're collecting payments from outside of Stripe for Invoices but need to mark them as paid.

Off-hand I'm not sure if it's possible to force the pay online link to not be displayed, but I do know that it is related to the type of payment methods that you allow your customers to use for the Invoice.

[mighty knot]

Ok so I juste need to remove card payment when it paid out of the band right ?

[wanton verge]

If you use paid_out_of_band then you don't need to do anything else, that will mark the Invoice as paid.

[mighty knot]

Yeah it is on the Stripe Dashboard but on the PDF it display the link. If you know how I can remove it thats cool. If not Its ok i'll do other way

[wanton verge]

Ah, I think I found it, finishing up a test.

I'm pretty sure the setting you want to turn off is the one discussed here:
https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/hosted-invoice-page#email-links

[mighty knot]

How should I turn it off ?

[wanton verge]

Go to the dashboard page linked in that section, uncheck the shown box, and click save.

[mighty knot]

Perfect !

thanks for all have a nice day (or night)

[wanton verge]

Any time! Thanks, hope you have a nice day as well!
