Hey! To clarify, you want to copy Customer objects and their associating payment methods between multiple platform accounts?

Yeah, or allow them to be attached to paymentintents on other platform accounts - from Stripe's perspective it's an interesting one in terms of security I think, but otherwise if a customer to one of our restaurant chains goes to another region that changes Platform Account then they'd have to input their payment details again, which might feel a bit broken to them in the app

There needs to be a connection between the accounts in order to facilitate copying customers/PMs, and that's not supported for platforms (e.g. you can't connect a platform to a platform): https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect

Connect platforms using the Payment Methods API

Considerations for Stripe Connect platforms adding support for new payment methods using the Payment Methods API.

So in this case the user should have separate Stripe Customers and therefore separate Stripe PaymentMethods based on the Stripe Connect Platform account being used in that region of the world?

If so, is there a way to have a single Platform account that covers all regions for payouts/payments? I believe there was some issue with our UK region account that meant it couldn't accept payments in Saudi, or couldn't pay out or something like that. I'd have to talk to the CEO to get full reasoning since he was the one actually setting it up with Stripe

#

Ah! Reason is that the UK region account cannot payout to Saudi bank account but has a much lower rate for transactions. US region account can pay out, but has a rate almost double the UK one
