Everything points us to Direct charges being the most appropriate for us. That leads to my follow questions:

1a. Do we need to create the products under the connected accounts profile?
1b. Can that be done when a product is created via the API/SDKs?
Is it best practice to attach a customer to the create checkout session object when creating them via the API/SDKs?

We have been experimenting with following this recipe in test mode and ran into errors indicating that if we are doing Direct charges, then the products and customers need to live under the connected account, not under the platform account.

Mostly want to see if that is true?

// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys
const stripe = require('stripe')('sk_test_51MlV9TLVPbCZCAKX8aQiG4dI8PIBwq3ihAIBLDZnhgaQN6mOBNACgVTwXEUh89SNknl7zkyfLrElcbTaTT41k3sv00BY9kNsIM');

const session = await stripe.checkout.sessions.create(
  {
    line_items: [
      {
        price_data: {
          currency: 'usd',
          product_data: {
            name: 'T-shirt',
          },
          unit_amount: 1000,
        },
        quantity: 1,
      },
    ],
    payment_intent_data: {
      application_fee_amount: 123,
    },
    mode: 'payment',
    success_url: 'https://example.com/success?session_id={CHECKOUT_SESSION_ID}',
  },
  {
    stripeAccount: '{{CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
  }
);

I'm not seeing the answers to my follow questions on that page. Am I missing something?

Sepcifically what I need clarity on is where products should live.
1a. Do we need to create the products under the connected accounts profile?
1b. Can we (the platform) create products for connected accounts via API/SDKs? (Didn't see that in the docs)

you can't use Direct Charges

#

1a. Do we need to create the products under the connected accounts profile?
no since you're going to use either Destination Charges or Separate Charges and Transfers meaning that the prices/products should be on your platform account

#

Can we (the platform) create products for connected accounts via API/SDKs? (Didn't see that in the docs)
this is possible but not for your use-case

#

Just to clarify, we can't use direct charges because we want to be able to create the products programmatically for our connected accounts? They would have to create their own products within the Dashboard or with their own API keys?

no because you can't do cross-border payouts with Direct Charges or Destination Charges with on_behalf_of

I think i've got it.

So if we do destination charges, then the products and customers can live under the platform and we specify the connected acount is via

    application_fee_amount: 123,
    transfer_data: {
      destination: '{{CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
    },
  },

when we create the checkout session?

Doing it this way... then cross-border payouts are supported as specified in: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/cross-border-payouts#fund-flow-restrictions
