What kind of connected accounts are you using? Also, how are you creating Subscriptions?
If you are using Destination Charges (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges), you can specify the destination Stripe account when you create your Subscription: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/object#subscription_object-transfer_data
And then you can update it if you change the cleaner: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/update#update_subscription-transfer_data

I haven't set the whole thing up yet. I didn't know there were different kinds of connected accounts. Subscriptions will be created on the platform via the api.

Copying your other message here:
To clarify, the customer has signed up to a monthly subscription and upon selecting a different window cleaner future subscriptions no longer go to the first window cleaner and instead to the newly selected one.

I understand. You will likely need a Custom or an Express account: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/explore-connect-guide#account-types

Ok, so what I imagined was a subscription gets created (attached to a customer with a payment method) and there would be a some piece of data attached to that subscription to tell stripe to direct a specified portion of each payment received to a specific connected account. But how you appear to say it would work is that the platform would need to determine the fee due to each connected account on a payment by payment basis and create a destination charge each time. Is that about right? In which case making the payment to a different connected account is fairly trivial.

No, if you use transfer_data when creating the Subscription, the specified amount will be transfered to the Connected account automatically from each Invoice.

Sorry, I just re-read your original explanation, I get it (or at least I think I get enough to make a start with some confidence!) -- thank you for your help 😃
