Hi there, so you want to use the platform's payment method to pay on connected accounts?

steady sable Jul 29, 2024, 5:39 AM

#

yeah so basically that's what i figured to share the payment methods between multiple connected accounts under my platform

#

based on my understanding, i need to create a payment method under the platform account and attach it to a customer. and then, i need to clone it under connected account which eventually creates completely new payment method(differnet payment method id).

#

Yes, you are right. You can clone payment methods from platform to connected accounts https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods

#

and then, use the cloned payment method to the recurring billing.

#

If the subscription is created on a connected account, then yes.

#

in this scenario, when users need to update the payment method, i assume firstly it should be done under the platform account

#

afterwards, is the best practice to clone the updated payment method again and then update the subscription with the new payment method and detach the old one?

#

in this scenario, i should keep the payment method id from the platform account and also the payment method ids from the connected accounts in my DB?

#

or is there a way to know the cloned payment method is from which payment method in the platform account?

junior owl Jul 29, 2024, 5:47 AM

#

Yes you can always save a new payment method in platform, and then clone it to a connected account, if that's the flow you prefer.

#

However, you can't clone a payment method from a connected account back to platform.

#

You can use metadata to save the platform payment method ID

#

would you recommend updating the PM in the platform account and then clone it to the connected account? or updating both together?

#

also one more question regarding implementation, for ^, we are 1. creating a setupintent(BE) 2. confirm the setupintent(FE) and clone it to a connected account(BE) 3. create a subscription to get payment intent(BE) 4. confirm the payment intent with the cloned payment method(BE). Do you think this step would make sense to you?

That's entirely up to your business. Also in step 3 you can set the payment method as the default_payment_method of the subscription and Stripe will use this payment method to pay invoices generated by the subscription.
