Hello! Not sure I understand. What do you mean by another entity? What do you mean by balance? Can you give me a detailed example?
boreal tangle
Hi Rubeus,
another entity = another customer
balance = https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance?locale=es-419
Example the customers A, B, and C I get paid through the customer D
frank nova
No, the Customer Balance only applies to a single Customer.

Is there any other way to do this?

I'm still not clear on the scenario. Can you tell me more about how the business/funds flow works? Who are the parties involved? What is their relationship to each other?
boreal tangle
The parties involved are my company, the user and a strategic partner.
My company is the one that manages the subscriptions.
The user is the one who enjoys the SaaS product.
The strategic partner is responsible for paying for the consumption of a group of users.
So, we need to know how much to charge through Stripe billing subscription from the user but charge it to the strategic partner's account.

It sounds like the only two parties involved in the actual flow of funds are you and the strategic partner, in which case you would charge them like a regular customer.
To put it another way, the users aren't involved in any of the money movement, so I don't see how they would be a factor?
boreal tangle
I believe that the users are a factor because in their accounts we manage the subscription, product changes, upgrades, downgrades, charge dates, etc. Stripe billing tells us when and how much to charge each user and we charge the strategic partner.
frank nova
That's not really how it works. Stripe Billing, meaning a Subscription, tells you how much to charge the Customer. We don't support charging someone different, you have to charge the Customer the Subscription belongs to.
Can you tell me more about what you mean when you say "in their accounts"?
