Hi 👋 I don't think you want to. Creating an Invoice directly on a Connected Account will cause that Invoice to use a Direct Charge approach, which isn't recommended for use with Express accounts.

merry fjord Feb 22, 2023, 4:07 PM

#

ok, so you recommend creating invoices (always?) on the plattform account?

glacial storm Feb 22, 2023, 4:08 PM

#

When working with Express or Custom connected accounts, yes.

merry fjord Feb 22, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

ok thx.
can we then brand that platform invoice accourdingly to the connected account. (logo, adr, company)

#

wether dynamically in code or creating invoice templates for different connected acounts

#

I think you're looking for the on_behalf_of parameter, which causes the Invoice to inherit the branding and support details of the Connected Account:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-on_behalf_of

https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/connect#:~:text=The following example shows how to use the on_behalf_of parameter for a new invoice by using separate charges and transfers%3A

#

i already did that, but this does not work. no logo, no adress.

glacial storm Feb 22, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

Did you set the branding info for your Connected Account first? Or check to see if any branding settings were set?

merry fjord Feb 22, 2023, 4:13 PM

#

a college of mine did that on the connected account with ID acct_1MVuJn4KqOcqQ7Dz

glacial storm Feb 22, 2023, 4:16 PM

#

Can you share the ID of the request where they did that? I'm not readily seeing any branding settings being set for that account.

#

oh, then seams there to be the source of the failure. she told me that she did that, but i don't know how one create invoice templates / profiles on the dashboard or do you recommend another way?

glacial storm Feb 22, 2023, 4:20 PM

#

You don't create different Invoice template/profiles, that is not a concept within Stripe Billing.

merry fjord Feb 22, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

ok. so i create invoices on the platform acount refering the conncted account with on_behalf_of. but on the created invoices is no profile info (seller adres, logo)

Because you first need to set those details on the Connected Account:

and the support details in the business_profile:
