Hello! I'm not sure I fully understand your question. Can you provide more details, especially around what's blocking you from moving forward?
When a user creates a new organization in our UI, we want to collect billing information. We want to bill at the end of the month for the resources used by that organization. A user may have multiple organizations.
hello
@fluid berry Hello, are you and @slender oasis working together? If not, you should use the buttons in #help instead of jumping into someone else's thread.
I'm just getting into stripe, so I'm trying to start things off in the right direction. I think I'm confused at how to use customer objects when it's really an organization that is being billed. I'm trying to understand how to collect payment information (payment intent?) and how to store that.
i really need help Stripe blocked my customer payout for no reason i need to activate my account its very important i need to send products
@fluid berry and I are not working together.
@fluid berry looks like you're in the wrong place, this thread is for someone else's question.

@slender oasis Gotcha, so Customer objects are designed to represent your customers, which are typically individual people. They can also be used to represent businesses and other entities, and can be augmented with metadata: https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/create#create_customer-metadata
If you need more robust functionality than that you would need to handle that on your end, outside of Stripe, likely in combination with our Customer functionality.
Thanks for that direction and the pointer to metadata. It seems I could set up a 1:1 relationship between stripe customers and organizations.
That sounds like an approach worth exploring, yep!
Is there a way to collect billing information using no-code? Generate a URL to stripe to collec the information and then redirect back to our site when complete?
You can use Checkout or Invoices for that, yep.
It sounds like you'd be more likely to want Invoices for your use case, so I recommend you explore that first.
And this is the no-code section for Invoices: https://docs.stripe.com/invoicing/quickstart-guide
We'd like to collect a credit card upon creating a new organization. This helps prove intent and reduce our own fraud. It seems like Invoices wouldn't collect billing information during sign up.
It seems we'd want a usage based billing https://docs.stripe.com/billing/subscriptions/usage-based/pricing-models
Ah, okay, you want Checkout in setup mode then: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted
If you want to initially collect payment details without an immediate payment or setting up a Subscription, you want to use a Setup Intent, which is what Checkout in setup mode does.
The other option for not taking a payment but creating a Subscription would be to give the Subscription a free trial period.
Thank you. I've played around with it in my sandbox. I think this is what I need ๐
