Separate Charges and Transfers is only recommended for Express and Custom connected accounts

ok, except for the OAuth url (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-express-accounts) used for connecting an account, do we need to consider other changes when using the Express accounts?
We are thinking about continuing to use Standard accounts for the clients that do not need to use separate charges and transfers...and use Express accounts for the ones that will need separate charges and transfers. Will that work?

For newly created Express account, Account API should be used instead of Oauth: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts

ok, so we will need to change this flow then, because for Standard we are using OAuth, but now for Express we should use the API. Can we still have Standard accounts connected to the platform and also new Express accounts connected?
hollow vine
Do you mean both Standard and Express accounts connected to the platform? If so, then yes

ok, there is another issue that we might have, currently we have clients that have products created in their connected accounts, but if we want to do separate charges and transfers, we need the products created on the platform, right?
hollow vine
correct yes! for separate charges and transfers, products should be created on the platforms
inland geyser
is there a way to migrate existing products (plus the related subscriptions/payments), to the platform?
If not, I guess the only option is to create the products again, on the platform and still keep the old ones on the connected account so that the existing subscriptions will continue to be active
hollow vine
There's no straightforward way to migrate the existing products from connected account to the platform. One way is to retrieve the products from the connected accounts and create in the platform
I'll be stepping away, and my colleage @unborn beacon will be taking over this thread
