I had asked here already one time and you guys told me that i should manage the customer, products, etc. on my platform account .. but then the subscription invoice also has the name of my platform

Hey there, sorry for the delay
sullen burrow
No worries
I have my users as customers of my platform at stripe
And at the end when they do a subscription with the connected accounts (dance studios) they ofc should get a invoice from the dance studios, not from the platform
What is there the best practise?
We are using destination charges
vague bronze
If you want the connected account to be the merchant of record (meaning they are the business that customers transact with), then you should review using on_behalf_of here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/subscriptions#on-behalf-of
sullen burrow
Oh nice, that looks like what i need. Thank you!
vague bronze
NP!
sullen burrow
on_behalf_of cant be used with paypal?
vague bronze
COrrect, paypal does not support OBO: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/paypal#connect
Are you encountering errors around this?
sullen burrow
Yeah .. is there another way then using on behalf of?
What is the best practise? i had first the idea that every connected account has its own customers .. but i think that is the wrong way
i mean i can also remove paypal for subscriptions, but would be nice because i ngermany people love paypal 😄
when i remove paypal, on_behalf_of works
what if is set the
But then i cant pass payment methods anymore
hm
vague bronze
Well, we recommend using dynamic payment methods anyways, based on your payment method configurations
But on behalf of is a pretty important signal that reflects the way your business works and the relationship with customers and sellers

This is possible, but this direct charges instead of destination. Again, a pretty different structure.
I'd suggest reviewing the guidance here about deciding between direct and destination: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/subscriptions?lang=node#decide-between-direct-charges-and-destination-charges
With destination charges, the customers are all on your platform (regardless of OBO and the merchant of record)
With direct, the customers and subscriptions are on the connected accounts.
