Ok, and what exactly do you need help with?
So another questions
If I use stripe connect to clone customers from platform accounts to connected accounts
And I set up a subscription in the connected account
Which will charge the customer on a monthly basis ?
As in which account? In that scenario you would be using our direct charges flow so it would be the connected account charging your user
Yes so for example
Platform account takes a payment from customer A
Connected account stores card details for customer A
Connected account sets up monthly subscription for customer A
This is all possible using stripe ?
@slim bronze ?
Yes this is possible https://stripe.com/docs/connect/subscriptions#use-direct-charges-to-create-a-subscription
Ok last questions
Or situation
Platform account takes a payment from customer A , and auto sets up a monthly subscription for customer A
Connected account stores customer A’s card details, and automatically sets up a monthly subscription for customer A
End result -
Customer A makes a payment and sets up a monthly subscription to the platform account. Platform account pay outs go to company A
Customer A sets up a monthly subscription on the connected account . Connected account pay outs go to company B
My developers can do this in stripe ?

The server is busy, was just getting back to this thread. Catching up now...
Is company A the connected account from the first two lines?
With that setup you would be charging that customers twice a month. You can disperse the funds however you want through application fees and transfers though you would likely have to have your own tracking system for this as Stripe only provides the interface for taking the application fee here
Essentially
The customer makes a payment to the platform stripe account, which auto creates a subscription on the platform account.
The customers payment details are saved in the connected account , which auto creates a subscription.
Outcome -
1 payment and subscription to platform account
1 subscription set up on connected account
Platform account pays out to company A
Connected account pays out to company B
Is this all possible for my developers to create for me?
Yes, though there it may make more sense to just have one subscription on either the platform or connected account. If you have the subscription on the platform, you could transfer a portion of the funds that you get to the connected account, if you make the subscription on the connected account, you could just charge a fee to your platform for each payment that goes to the connected account (we call this an application fee). Then the funds on each Stripe account would get paid out to their own bank account
If I transfer a portion of the funds
To my understanding
All of the money has to land in one stripe account
And then some gets moved over
Rather than it being completely split two ways
You can send funds to multiple connected accounts. We typically refer to this flow as "separate charges and transfers" in our docs https://stripe.com/docs/connect/subscriptions#create-separate-charges-and-transfers
You would create a subscription on your platform account and then transfer whatever funds away to however many connected accounts
Ok for example
If the Platform account made 100k and 10% sent to the connected account
Did the platform account turnover 100k
Or did the platform account turnover 90k
Sorry “gross volume”
100k or 90k?
Is the gross volume made in the platform account and then sent to the connected
Or does the gross volume become 90k because 10% went elsewhere
Hi there 👋 taking over, as my colleague needs to step away
Give me a few minutes to get caught up.
