For cloning payment method, you should follow the guide here: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods

#

What type of connected account are you using for Direct Charges? Direct Charges is only recommended for Standard connected accounts

yeah I'm using a standard connected account.

To provide a bit more context, I was initially creating a subscription using destination charges like so:

await stripe.checkout.sessions.create({
    mode: "subscription",
    customer,
    line_items: [{ price: price, quantity: 1 }],
    success_url: host,
    cancel_url: host,
    subscription_data: {
      transfer_data: {
        destination: vendorStripeId,
        amount_percent: 93,
      },
    },
  });

I'm trying to change this to a direct charge and I thought I'd do so by following that guide

#

the issue is, I don't have a payment method to clone before creating a subscription

#

So I guess my question is, is it possible to clone a customer to a connected account if I don't have a payment method configured?

Connect cloning only supports payment method cloning. Cloning a customer/subscription is not supported. You'd need to create a new customer on the connected account and create new subscription

#

Since there's no payment method on the customer, then there's nothing for you to clone

oh ok. I would want to reuse my customers’ payment information across different connected accounts though.

If I were to create a customer and subscription on the connected account. Would I be able to clone that back to the platform account so that the payment info can be reused across different connected accounts?
