Hello 👋
You can use price_data parameter under subscriptions.items when creating subs
https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/create#create_subscription-items-price_data

Yes but it requires a product_id, from what i've seen. Is it possible to also provide the product_data too in some way?
Also would you recommand to sync all the product catalog with stripe or only subscriptions based products?

ah I see what you mean, hmm don't think that's something we support today
Also would you recommand to sync all the product catalog with stripe or only subscriptions based products?
Its upto you honestly. Like a lot of it comes down to what you/your integration needs so..
old abyss
What advantage is there to sync all the catalog?
To be fair, so far we've always managed not to and always tried to avoid having to because of a transfer owner feature we have which requires us to create a brand new stripe connect account when the business owner changes.
But with subscription products having to be there anyway, I"m starting to wonder if we'd benefit from syncing the entire merchants catalogs to their respective stripe connect account

The advantages depend on the setup you have. You mentioned you use Stripe connect.
What sort of charges are you creating?
Direct or Destination Charges?
old abyss
So far Direct Charges but I can see that evolve over time to Destination Charges

With direct charges, you'd need to create products on the connected account anyway, so IMO there's no benefit today but if you're offering the same products on different connected accounts then you could templatize the products/prices on platform and clone them when needed
When you switch to destination charges, you can basically just have a single source of truth for product catalogue where everything just exists on the Platform account.

Our model is more like shopify where each merchant has its own catalogue and its own connect account
We do share customers across them though.
So that a customer can reuse their credit card and personal info across stores transparently without having to create an account for everything
