HI 👋

Our docs do a good job of explaining the difference between the three charge types here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges

Hi @mild bobcat . I read it. But still got doubts. can you try to help me?

#

Myproblem is not exactly the charges

#

My current App, is already creating a new Customer into my Main Stripe Account.
But While I'm testing it seems that a product sold by a connected account did not use the same customer I already have created. Am I right?
Any workaround to manage all customers from onde single customers list? Did I make my self clear @mild bobcat ?

#

Then please describe what your question is exactly

#

How are you creating charges?

solid hazel Oct 23, 2023, 4:46 PM

#

I preffer to create a direct charge, this way my connected account is responsible for their own Taxes.

#

then connected account just pay me a application fee

#

This is my need, is it possible?

#

Using a already created customer into my main strip account? (I create a new stripe customer, in the moment user confirm his account into may application, but I'll have 2 other connected account, you got? )

#

When making a Direct Charge, all the objects exist on the Connected Account. So the Customer, the Price, the Payment, all of it need ot be created on the connected accout

#

So the only way to keep it into my main account is by doing a platfform charge? and the tax colletion will be my responsability ? that's it?

mild bobcat Oct 23, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

Correct

#

If you want all the records, you assume the liability

#

Is it possible at least to attribute the same customerId from my main account in the moment of charge? I mean, I need a kind of unique ID to manage access to available data from subscription from connected accounts an subscriprions from main account, make sense to you?

#

How can I say to my Database that the subscription is active for a given customer using your web hooks. without a kind of identifier.

You can clone Customer objects to your Connect Accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cloning-customers-across-accounts

But they aren't true clones. They don't stay in sync. You would need to listen to webhooks from your Connected Accounts to get notified when the Customer gets updated or has a subscription. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/webhooks

#

ok. but is possible to create a new cloned customer in moment os purchase?

mild bobcat Oct 23, 2023, 5:07 PM

#

As long as you have the customer created already on your platform, you could first clone the customer to the Connected Account, clone and attach their payment method, then create the Direct Charge subscription for that customer on the Connected Account

solid hazel Oct 23, 2023, 5:08 PM

#

ok. this seems a way. I'll read more about it. thanks.

#

Happy to shed what 💡 I can 🙂

#

We also have a more updated guide using the Payment Methods API: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect
