👋 hello! What do you need me to confirm?

crystal tiger May 8, 2023, 5:35 PM

#

So I'm working on a marketplace app. Users will post items for sale and buyers will buy them. Typical setup. I'm worried that if I create Products on Connected Accounts, I'll be causing some sort of duplicate. Would it be a problem to just create a Product everytime a buyer wants to checkout?

#

Something like "<StoreName><epochtime>"

#

It's doable but it makes reconciliation/metrics a lot harder to build afterwards. The majority of the time, the seller(s) have their own product catalog and that's what you should ingest.

#

But if people really always sell one-off things, it seems fine

Hmm. I never really considered managing products with Stripe. Should I be making an effort to keep the products they have on my platform in sync with products on their stripe account?

#

Let's take a step back: what type of connected account are you using? Custom, Express or Standard?

crystal tiger May 8, 2023, 5:41 PM

#

Standard

#

Though I sometimes wonder if I should be going Express.

#

Okay so if you use Standard then yes I would usually either ingest their Product/Prices on their account or add a feature to allow them to create new ones

crystal tiger May 8, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

Alright. I'll need to think through this a bit. Originally was hoping I could just send a price with line items.

#

Appreciate the consult.
