You'd use the Customer API to create the customer (https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers) in combination with the Stripe-Account header (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication#stripe-account-header) set to the connected account

Thank you, but how do I create a customer for a connected account? I don't see this information on the page.

rose raptor Nov 1, 2023, 5:43 PM

#

that's how you do it - you use the API with the Stripe-Account header and the Customer API

#

Or are you trying to do this in a no-code way?

languid wharf Nov 1, 2023, 5:44 PM

#

I am looking at doing it via API.

#

how would I specify the connect account?

#

I don't see any parameter that defines this.

Deleted that message since it had your test secret key in it (this is a public channel)

languid wharf Nov 1, 2023, 5:47 PM

#

oh, ok, didn't realize it. Thank you.

rose raptor Nov 1, 2023, 5:48 PM

#

That looked like python, so you'd do somethign like this:

stripe.Customer.create(
  description="My First Test Customer",
  stripe_account='{{CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
)

#

There was an example of this in the second link I sent you https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication#stripe-account-header

ok, I see this. I am not probably explaining myself correctly. Ok, let me try with some details. Let's say I am using connect platform, and I have connected-ac A and connected-ac B as two connected account that have onboarded with me. Now, connected-ac A has a a customer with which I need to setup payment. When I create an invoive with direct charge, then the customer should see that it comes from connected-ac A.

#

to create this invoice, I need to first create a customer of connected-ac A. Is this not right?

rose raptor Nov 1, 2023, 5:52 PM

#

Yes, thta is correct

languid wharf Nov 1, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

ok, thanks. Then what parameters would have to be passed to create customer x who is a customer of connected-ac A.

#

somewhere in that payload, we may need to identify the connected-ac A, which I am not sure how to specify.

#

Have you tried the snippet I already shared with you? That's exactly how you'd create a Customer on a connected acount - you'd pass in stripe_account with the account ID you want

languid wharf Nov 1, 2023, 5:56 PM

#

ok, got it. I will try.
