Hi there! Are you using Stripe Checkout for that initial payment or Elements?

[faint pollen]

Neither I would say. Right now I am just in a testing phase trying to create a subscription that sends an invoice to the connect customer where they can fill out their payment from there. Am I thinking about this completely wrong?

[prisma carbon]

No, I don't think so. Just to be clear, this means your team would rather send an invoice for the customer's first payment instead of having them pay for the subscription's first billing cycle while they're using your app?

I tried to explain the situation in my original message it is for connect customers not our direct customers.

Our company -> our customers -> connect customer (these are who the subscriptions are for) I would like it to be where our customers can invoice their customers (connect customers) hopefully that makes sense.

In a perfect world, our user can click a button that sends their customer an invoice with their monthly/weekly rate and from there they can put in their payment info to pay the first invoice then from there it would be automatic. Could that be done?

[prisma carbon]

Yes, that could be done. This means the end customer (the customer of your connected account) would use Stripe's hosted invoice to pay their first payment. Your platform would then need to update the invoice after this first payment/before the next invoice to change the subscription's collection_method to charge_automatically
