Hello

You can't clone a Subscription. You would need to recreate it.

[unborn otter]

Yes

and I reuse this: https://support.stripe.com/questions/recreate-subscriptions-and-plans-after-moving-customer-data-to-a-new-stripe-account

But I don't have any idea to do this with the Stripe API

[hallow crypt]

Are you confused specifically with how to do these requests on a Connected Account?

Or you aren't familiar with Products/Prices/Subscriptions via the API?

[unborn otter]

Confused on how to do these requests

Should I create the customer to the connected account as well?

What is exactly the procedure I have to do with the API to recreate a subscription to the connected account?

How I get the old subscription to input to the new subscription?

[hallow crypt]

You basically need to do each step of creating a Subscription (create Products/Prices, create Customer, create Subscription, collect PaymentMethod) and you do that all on the Connected Account using the Stripe-Account header: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication#stripe-account-header

You can retrieve a Subscription on your platform using: https://stripe.com/docs/api/subscriptions/retrieve

[unborn otter]

Ok. I retrieve the info. But how did I enrich the subscription creation with all the info? I use Node, I just have to input the old subscription in input?

[hallow crypt]

No, you need to do each step here: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/build-subscriptions?ui=elements but do that on your Connected Account.

If you already have the Customer's PaymentMethod then you can clone that to your Connected Account instead of collecting it

https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods has information on how to clone PaymentMethods

[unborn otter]

To be clear

1. I copy the customer to the connected account

2. I create the product to the connected account

3. I copy the paymentmethod

4. I copy the old subscription and create a new one to the connected account

?

[hallow crypt]

1/ Create Customer on Connected Account (you can't copy a Customer)
4/ Create the Subscription on Connected Account using an equivalent Price

Other than that, yes.

[unborn otter]

Ok

And this approachs work:

const subscription = await stripe.subscriptions.retrieve('sub_1OAXZwFEFyxL8YonHSP5MZyE');
await stripe.subscriptions.create(subscription);

?

[hallow crypt]

No

[unborn otter]

What is the good approach?

[hallow crypt]

You create a Subscription using the proper parameters

Not by passing a different Subscription object

[unborn otter]

What are the proper parameters?

[hallow crypt]

Did you look at the documentation I provided above?
