You can clone payment methods from your platform to connected accounts as documented here:
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods
Note that this only creates an instance of the payment method on the connected account, any actual copying of customer data you'd need to implement yourself
ie, by reading the platform customer details and creating a customer on the connected account

👀
ah, yes, i misread
Apologies
Well, you'd either do this with separate API calls using the respective keys for those platforms, bridging through your own system
Or, probably better, is to connect your platforms to one another so you can manage this with the keys from a single platform
If you have a "top level" orchestrating platform and then multiple regional platform accounts, this is fairly normal to do

Oh, is it possible to connect platforms ? I mean, i see both accounts under one login, does that mean they are already linked as I want ?

MainPlat <> RegionalPlat <> LocalConnectAccounts
low iris
yes, second one is regional( EEA)
pearl finch
Note that MainPlat cannot interact directly with LocalConnectAccount in this case -- there's no support for "grandchild" requests
low iris
that is okay
pearl finch
So you can create customers in MainPlat and replicate that to RegionalPlat (or vica versa, if connected both ways), but then RegionalPlat has to manage the payments for its LocalConnectedAccount

How to access regional account from main platform though ? through one api key
pearl finch
the regional platform, or the end customer connected account?
low iris
just regional platform, no need for regional connected accounts yet
Rephrasing: I just need to copy Customer data from Main Plat to Regional Plat.
pearl finch
The same way you'd work with any normal connected account, a connected paltform is no different
low iris
I did a test api call, saw an error like, this api key doesn't have an access to this account id(which was regional account id)
is it possible that they are not linked yet ?
even if i see them both under one login as a developer ?
pearl finch
You need to explicitly connect them, using connect. Same dashboard account ownership is ~irrelevant

Nice, so Connect works even between platforms, I though it was possible between platform and others only
pearl finch
You can either do this with OAuth: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts
Or you can write in to support to ask for help manually connecting the accounts behind the scenes: https://support.stripe.com/contact

Thanks a lot, really helpful
Just to double check
"Nice, so Connect works even between platforms, I though it was possible between platform and others only"
Comment to this please ?

Yes, platforms are just standard accounts, really, with the ability to work on behalf of other connected accounts
