Thank you for the help 🙂
users that are somehow not having their form submitted, after their payment was approved
I don't understand what this means. Are you talking about some other form? How are you triggering this?
but this would entail each and every one of our users installing a webhook into their account
Not so! As a platform, you can configure a single Connect type webhook endpoint to receive the relevant events for all connected accounts
It is an asp.net form. It submits via JS upon the resolution of the confirmPayment promise from Stripe (contingent on a success response)
Oh, seriously? Let me check this out.
Can this Connect framework be used with only a set of API Keys? Or will I need to be added onto every client's account as a team member?
I'm not sure what you mean, but none of the API interactions require team member setup
This requires the client accounts to be connected to your platform account. Is that the case here?
Sorry, I assumed from the description you were using Connect, but I should have asked.
No worries - we don't use Connect yet. How does one connect an account to another account? And are there any barriers to becoming a platform account?
We currently use the payment intent API via our clients' pk & sk keys.
Got it -- yea if you're performing actions for many other accounts, Connect is strongly recommended instead of handling keys
You can read more about that here:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/enable-payment-acceptance-guide
and the connect overview
I've read through this, and i just want to confirm: this will maintain my existing process without any changes, and just send through the webhook in addition, correct?
Thank you so much for your help on this, by the way, i would have never thought of this myself.
Assuming you don't change your flows, yes, but I am also suggesting changing your flows a bit to collect payment the recommended way (using Direct Charges, for example)
Using direct charges (you authenticate "as" the connected account on the API request), the payment still belongs to the connect account, just as it does right now
You gain the option of charging a platform fee and you get the webhooks etc
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts#choosing-approach shows some of the applicable notes for standard accounts
Gotcha - I will read through this. Thank you!
