When you say
We are planning a partnership with another store (uses Stripe as well). The idea is that they sell our SaaS subscription product as an upsell.
Do you mean you're planning to use Stripe Connect to onboard their existing Stripe account?
meager wraith
I'm not sure I understand the set up you're describing 😅
red field
Hehe no worries
Basically they will sell our product as an upsell, and we will invoice them manually
We can setup a webhook to generate the registration link upon checkout that should be easy from their system
But we need to have the subscription and customer in our stripe system 🙂
They just make the sale for us, but I want everything else to live in our system
So we can listen to cancellations, payment method changes etc
meager wraith
There's no way to share customers between two independent Stripe accounts in that manner.
Unless customers provide the same payment methods again so that you can store it on your Stripe account too
red field
Would it be possible to create a new subscription in our system based on all the data from their system programatically?
meager wraith
I mean you can create a new subscription by listening to webhook events but you can't re-use payment methods (which is a big part of the flow here). In addition to that the customer seeing two different charges on their credit card statements would create additional confusion and might cause dispute rate to increase.
red field
Ah
I get it
It makes sense
I need to think if there could be another way to handle this, the business logic hmm I will have to think about it
Thanks a lot!
meager wraith
Yeah. If you were to use Stripe Connect and be a platform by connecting to the existing Stripe account (of the other store), then you can create subscriptions directly on the platform and transfer the appropriate proceedings to the connected account
red field
Ok so basically we get access to their system via Stripe Connect but not the other way around?
meager wraith
Not sure what you mean by the other way around but yeah with Stripe Connect, the setup you want would be somewhat possible
red field
Ok super
