Hi 👋
This isn't a Connect Request. Passing OBO isn't going to have an impact here. What are you trying to do?
What would make it a connect request?
I'm trying to make an invoice on behalf of a connected account
Ah, I see that has special documentation:https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/connect
It would need to be either a Direct Charge or a Destination Charge as we define here:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges
But I don't really see what distinguishes these instructions from what I did
With card?
That doc is useful for Invoices but you need to understand the core concepts here
I'm trying to do this with ACH payments...it worked with checkout
There is nothing in the request that links it to a Connect Account
I thought that was the point of OnBehalfOf
Not at all
That is a fundamental misunderstanding of how to make requests for Connect Accounts
We have a specific doc for that: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication
And if I use SetStripeAccount (i.e., set the Stripe-Account header), then I can't specify customer ids from the platform account, right?
at least, that has been my experience
Correct. The Customer exists on the Platform Account
Oh, so I should be able to?
No
If the Customer exists on the Platform account then you need to make the Invoice on the Platform Account. That would be a Destination Charge
So you should read the doc I linked about the different Connect charge types
OK, so I have to be the settlement merchant if the Customer is only a customer on the platform?
Not necessarily. You can use OBO with Destination Charges but you should read the docs to make sure you understand
