Hello! Just to confirm, you're using this API? https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create

One moment please, confirming
We create a product, and then yes we create a payment link leveraging that API with the details of that product
and we set the destination parameter and the on_behalf_of parameter both to the Connected Stripe accountID when creating the payment link

Yeah so you'll use the same API for both express or standard accounts - but what really matters here is what funds flow you're planning on using
Typically with standard accounts you're doing direct charges (so you'd use the Stripe-Account header to create the paymetn link directly on the conencted account)
wheras with express account you'd do destination charges (so the payment link would still be created on the platform, and you can use on_behalf_of to make the express account the merchant of record)

Ok great thank you
and one more follow up
if we wanted to instead onboard this user as an express customer but leverage direct charges just for this customer, is that possible?
would this just require constructing the payment link in the same way you just outlined?
calm vector
It's possible to use an Express account with direct charges (you'd use the Stripe-Account header like I mentioned earlier), but it's not something we generally recommend

what's the downside?
