Hey @quaint burrow ! My first question is: which connected account types are you using?

[quaint burrow]

Hey Koopajah, we haven't decided on a type so we're flexible right now. What is the best guidance? Standard or Express?

[hot elbow]

It's hard to say, it depends on many things 🙂

https://docs.stripe.com/connect/accounts is a good first read at least

If you use Standard: your connected accounts have full Dashboard access. They can create their Product and Prices in the API or the Dashboard and then you can use those as needed as a platform in your own code.
If you use Express: they do not have Dashboard access or API access. Everything exists/lives on your own platform account. So you have to build a UI/admin panel to let them define what they sell so that you can create/maintain Products and Prices for them

[quaint burrow]

If they use Standard, does that mean we need to listen in a webhook for all the prices they create so it can be reflected on our platform's frontend for users to subscribe to?

I have to run but my colleague @cinder flame is taking over!

Hi @quaint burrow listing to connect webhooks is a passive way to get information from your connected account, you can also make API request on a connected account directly to retrieve resources created on that account https://docs.stripe.com/connect/authentication#stripe-account-header

I see, thank you for this @cinder flame .

If we use express account, I suppose we also make API requests to create new prices on behalf of conencted account using the account header. Is my understanding correct?
