What connect account type do you have? Also is your current integration using destination charges or direct charges?
static lance
right now, i am trying to use direct charge with a standard account
cinder cove
Ok. And when you say payment method from the main account, are you referring to a specific customer's saved payment method on your platform that you want to charge and send funds to the connect account?
static lance
exactly
give me a second
req_tfstCiORcHieZb
easier if i give you the error 🙂
oh wait it's not the right one\
because the error comes from the client
cinder cove
Ok. And do you plan to do this frequently in your integration? The way to achieve this would be through something called a destination charge or a separate charge and transfer. We generally discourage doing this with Standard Accounts, but if this is mostly just a one-off, then it's most likely fine

Oh then you should switch to Express or Custom and use destination charges

i have a customer that will rent an appartement. I want the payment to be made to the connected account but would create the customer in my account so i can identify who the payment is comming from to select the payment method
cinder cove
Yeah that flow isn't great for standard accounts
static lance
i cannot, we have to use standard for the fraud and dispute liability
cinder cove
But with the flow you are describing, liability would fall back to the platform
So, create payment methods on the standard accounts and directly charge them there
If you want the dispute liability to fall on the connect account
You would have to do this: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges

another question, is it possible for me to give money to a customer that is in my list
and if yes, i am guessing that the user would need a payment method that would be ok to receive money
cinder cove
Only if they create a stripe account and connect to your platform
You can only be paid through Stripe if you have an account through us that's been verified
static lance
ok so stripe connect would be the only way then correct?
cinder cove
yep
static lance
ok i was trying to see if there was an easier way
basically i am making a air bnb clone
and our clients would rent houses
i need to create the customer on my client account so the payment intent can be used then?
cinder cove
Yes. If you want liability to lie with the connect account customers and payment methods need to be created on the connect accounts
And payment intents
static lance
ok
and the way i am making the payment intent right now, it is created on their account so i am good on that side
is there a way for me to copy a client that i have to a connected account
i would like to not ask the renter for his informations all the time
static lance
nice 😄
would the clone be a sync or would i have to redo the clone each time. Let's say the client changes his payment method and rents a second time

HI 👋
Let me be clear, cloning creates an independent copy. After that operation each Customer record and Payment Method are entirely independent.
static lance
ok so if i make a modification on the "parent" i would also need to make a modification on the "child"
warm orchid
If you expect that data to be present on both records, yes
static lance
that is perfect with me. i will just make an array with all the customer id to modify and to the same modification for all of them
warm orchid
That sounds like a feasible approach to me
static lance
indeed. I will use the customers in my main account as templates and save the list of new customer id's and "link" them on my side
a little more job but everything should be good
everything shoul dbe good for now. If i have questions i will ask in #dev-help 🙂
warm orchid
Sounds good, best of luck!
