Hi there

Should work just fine to use quotes with Connect

Have you done any testing yet?

[marsh moss]

yes i did but i can't retrieve customer from my platform on the connect account

[plush wave]

Yeah that's not how it works.

You can clone PaymentMethods from your Platform to a Connected Account

But you don't clone Customers. You just re-create them on your Connected Accounts using the same info.

Are you working with Standard Connected Accounts?

[marsh moss]

we are working with custom connected accounts

so you are saying that i have to retrieve customer from the platform then i have to create a copy on my connected account and after send the quote?

[plush wave]

Okay if you are going to use Custom Connected Accounts then really you want to handle everything on your platfrom and use transfer_data (and potentially on_behalf_of if you want to brand as your Connected Accounts).

Are you familiar with how Destination Charges work?

[marsh moss]

export const createStripeQuote = async ({ products, sellerId, customerId }: IStripeQuote) => {
   const parseProductToLine = () => {
      let lines: Stripe.QuoteCreateParams.LineItem[] = []
      for (const product of products) {
         const line = { price: product.default_price as string, quantity: 1 }
         lines = [...lines, line]
      }
      return lines
   }
   const quote = await stripe.quotes.create({
      customer: customerId,
      line_items: parseProductToLine(),
      on_behalf_of: sellerId,
      transfer_data: {
         destination: sellerId
      }
   })
   console.log('quote', quote)
   return quote
}

[marsh moss]

not really

[plush wave]

Oh you are already doing this. So you don't need to be creating Customers on the Connected Account

[marsh moss]

yes but my quote is wrong the informations aren't correct

[plush wave]

Going to need more details on that.

[marsh moss]

so the fisrt is that i don't have any information about the connected account on the quote

after i cant retrive the quote on the connected account

[plush wave]

You can override the description as one method of putting info about your Connected Account

And the quote will be on your platform account

So you don't need to retrieve from your Connected Account at all.

After it is accepted and the Subscription begins then the funds will be automatically transferred to the Connected Account

[marsh moss]

and what if as a connected account i want to update the quote or retrieve all of my previous quotes ?

[plush wave]

You control everything from the platform here so it is mostly up to you how you track.

One thing you can do is add metadata to your quotes

So that you can rely on metadata when filtering your data

[marsh moss]

Is there any cleaner way to do it using the connected accounts ?

[plush wave]

Well if you work with Standard Connected Accounts then you can create the quotes directly on the Connected Accounts if you prefer to go that route.

But that also is going to give some control over to your Connected Account users

Like they would then set up their own Subscription retry settings and have access to the full Dashboard

[marsh moss]

I don't know what to use because i have to keep control over connected account but connected accounts have to access theirs stats

[plush wave]

Well then you are already doing the right thing

And you are just going to need to build out the UI to show your users their data

[marsh moss]

ok thanks you very much

another thing could i custom the quote in way that the term 'quote' is replace by 'commercial propal'

[plush wave]

No that's not possible as far as I know

[marsh moss]

ok thank you have good night
