#

I'm not sure which API to use. I don't see an option to pass a connected account's stripe id when creating a customer https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/create

#

Every time you make a call on a connected account, you pass that extra "option" to indicate which account the call is on. It's what you do for a Direct Charge, and it works the same for creating a Customer for example

#

ohh ok that makes sense. Ok thanks!

#

Let me know if it doesn't work after you try and share your code and I can show you what to tweak

#

the Stripe-Account feature is super simple, but only once you "get it" 😅

ok yeah I just got it working! I'm finding that converting from destination charges to direct charges is a much bigger uptaking though. I just found out I have to also recreate the products on the connected accounts since it seems like the connected account doesn't have access to the product on the platform.

#

thanks for your help

#

What type of connected account are you using @strange thunder ?

#

It's really rare that any platform converts from Destination Charge to Direct Charges

#

I'm using a standard connected account.

I think it was just a mistake for me to initially use destination charges. It was my first time using stripe and I didn't comprehend how fundamentally different they were.

#

Gotcha, so yeah switching to Direct Charges is the right approach with Standard accounts

strange thunder Mar 21, 2023, 5:10 PM

#

ok thanks for the confirmation!
