Hi, I think you're likely looking for what we call a 'cloning a payment method', https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods. You can collect the payment details once, and then can copy the same payment method details across all connected accounts. Here are the steps:
1/ Create the customer on the Platform Account
2/ Create the Payment Method on the Platform Account using SetupIntents by passing the customer id on the SetupIntents
4/ Create a Payment Method (via /v1/payment_methods endopoint) using the Stripe Account Header and by passing the above object ids both the customer id and the payment method id. It creates a new payment method id on the Connected Account
5/ Create a charge using that payment method from 4.

That is exactly what I currently do, but now I want to use Checkout on direct payment for the connected accounts. And it seems I can't refer a Customer from the Platform Account ? (no such customer)

👋 stepping in here
When you clone PaymentMethods, only the PaymentMethod object gets cloned, no the Customer object. So if you want to attach that PaymentMethod to a Customer on the Connected Account then you would create a Customer object on the Connected Account to mirror the one that is on your platform account.

That is what I was thinking BUT using exclusively Checkout, the paymentMethod is first created on The connected Account, I need then to duplicate it on the Platform Account to retrieve it for futur use (other connected accounts). This seems so wrong 😦
fringe crane
Yeah that isn't possible
You can only clone from Platform --> Connected Account
Not the other way around
shy onyx
Then how to :
Use checkout for connected accounts
And avoid the Customer to reenter its payment data when he purchase on another connected accounts (checkout again) ?
fringe crane
Only way to do this if you are going to use Checkout would be to use mode: setup on your platform and then clone to your Connected Accounts

That's what I currently do. But the problem is Apple Pay is no more available in setup mode..
