Customer objects can only exist on one account, so you would make the create a customer call but on the connected account itself https://stripe.com/docs/api/connected_accounts
zealous ingot
in this call ?
stripe.charges.retrieve('ch_1IvPCPFJKvxtEEiiZpRcyPgj', {
stripeAccount: 'acct_1Iv7kVFJKvxtEEii'
});
this is where your link redirect me
vapid kestrel
I think I may not understand your question. Can you explain in a bit more detail what you are trying to do here?
That is just demonstrating how to use the stripeAccount: 'acct_1Iv7kVFJKvxtEEii' line of that code
zealous ingot
Yeah sure
vapid kestrel
You can use it for any API call, such as creating a customer
zealous ingot
Ok I understand
For exemple like that ?
public createCustomer = async (studentInfo: StudentUserInfo, stripeAccountId: string): Promise<string> => {
const customer = await this.stripe.customers.create({
email: studentInfo.email,
name: `${studentInfo.firstName} ${studentInfo.lastName}`,
phone: studentInfo.phoneNumber,
}, {
stripeAccount: stripeAccountId
});
return customer.id;
};
I create a customer to this special stripeAccountId that right ?
vapid kestrel
Yes exactly, that will create the customer object on that account for you to use later.

Actually, quick question, what kind of Stripe connected accounts are you using there? Standard, Express, or Custom?
zealous ingot
When a company signup on my platform I create an account with type: "standard"
Because I want the user think he do business only with the company and not my platform
vapid kestrel
Gotcha, sounds good. Then what we discussed should still be helpful there. There are flows with Express and Custom accounts where there might be a slightly different thing that you need to do.
zealous ingot
So you think I take the best choice ?
vapid kestrel
Yeah that sounds like a fine way to go
