is there any option to add customers to seller account through api?

the best would be that customers appears in "customers" section on connected account after they pay

[versed plume]

Hello, it is possible to create customers on your connected accounts, though depending on your connect payment flow that may or may not be helpful.

Do your connect user's have full dashboard access? Or just express access or no access at all?

[lapis jewel]

They do not have access for dashboard

you mean to use something like this?

  const customer = await stripe.customers.create(
    {
      email: session.customer_email,
      name: session.customer_name,
    },
    {
      stripeAccount: sellerAccountId,  // This associates the customer with the seller’s account
    }
  );

[versed plume]

Exactly

Gotcha, typically for those accounts we recommend doing charges where the payment intent and customer exist on your platform account. Is that what you are doing as well or are you creating charges on your connected accounts?

[lapis jewel]

You mean if i take fee for every customer payment?

[versed plume]

Not sure what you mean there. I am mostly trying to understand if you are using our destination charges flow where you create payments on your platform account and then automatically send funds to your connected account.
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/destination-charges
Or the direct charges flow where you create payment intents on the connected account with a stripe_account header and collect a fee when it is confirmed.
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/direct-charges

Basically, you want the Customer objects to exist on the same account(s) as the payment intents.

[lapis jewel]

Gotcha, i use stripe checkout session and destination account param

[versed plume]

Gotcha, then you will want to have the customers on your platform account.

One thing that will be helpful here is that you can pass customer_creation='always' when creating your checkout sessions for first time customers, that will tell Stripe to automatically create a new Customer object when the payment succeeds.

For returning customers, you can pass customer='cus_1234' which will assosciate the session and resulting payment with that existing customer

[lapis jewel]

Im not sure this one

When i send customer param for stripe checkout -> it will be connected with customer, not accunt, also customer is created after stripe checkout link for payment form

The case is that we have one customer that is owner of stripe account and owner will list his customers for which he generated stripe checkout url

[versed plume]

When i send customer param for stripe checkout -> it will be connected with customer, not accunt, also customer is created after stripe checkout link for payment form
It will be connected to both. The customer and intent are on your account, but the resulting payment intent will have the destination config that you set.
That said, unfortunately it doesn't look like there is a good way to list customers by the connected accounts that they have made payments to like this. You would need to either store that association on your side or create metadata on the customer object that stores the ID(s) of accounts it has made payments to

[lapis jewel]

i see, and then update account on webhook

i thnik now I understand

thank you for help

[versed plume]

Exactly. And the last piece is that the Customer search API can list customers by their metadata. So that would be a good way to list customers that have paid a specific account https://docs.stripe.com/api/customers/search
