What kind of Stripe accounts are you connecting to your platform
brittle stream
As in the type? They are express

Can you share an example invoice you're creating?
Branding should be inherited from the connected account if you set on_behalf_of: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/invoices#on-behalf-of
So you can create them at the platform level using objects (customers, tax rates, etc) that are on the platform without having to duplicate and manage them elsewhere

Interesting, I will try this and get back to you. I can see for receipts of payment_intents that this is not the case
heavy mauve
Yes PI receipts are the exemption to that rule. But invoices are different
brittle stream
Would there be any conflict if I assigned a previously created PI to the invoice or would the invoice still inherit from the connect account?
heavy mauve
I'm not sure what would take precedence there, you'd need to test. My assumption is that the invoice branding would apply

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!
brittle stream
Out of curiousity is paying for an invoice with an existing PI even supported?
I can also now see that your colleague was correct that the branding is inherited from the connect account. Is there anyway way to do the same through the Stripe dashboard? I don't see any option there to create an invoice on_behalf_of a connect account
spiral bluff
yes this available as a beta feature
spiral bluff
I can also now see that your colleague was correct that the branding is inherite...
I'm not familiar with all of the dashboard functionality but if you don't see it, this means it's probably only possible using the API. Let me double check anyways
brittle stream
Is there any documentation you can point me to for paying an invoice with an existing PI?
spiral bluff
you need to contact https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true to see first if you're eligible for the beta feature
once you have access to the feature you'll also get access to the corresponding docs
