👋
You need to pass through the platform account to move the funds from one customer to another

For example, if a customer A want to pay customer B, then you send the customer B a payment link with destination charge for a connected account that represents the customer A.

How can I let users manager their own stripe stuff, let the user create an account and a payment link and just add the link in my platform, so when two users are interacting the business user can have like a paywall before they render service.

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me catch up.

👍

#

At a high level, I want to do this:

  1. Charge a subscription to cover server costs - (I have already implemented this)
  2. Give the opportunity for business users to charge other users seeking that business types advice, from with in my platform, its like tutoring but more along the lines of solving real world problems.
  3. I want to isolate myself from the interactions of the users and payments between them

Would you mind explaining what you're trying to achieve?

I have been looking at Strip Connect, but I feel like this starts to force me to be involved.
I think the way it would work if I use connect and with what I have currently built is this,
Right now a user signs up under a certain account type, advisor or seeking advice,
then they fill out their details and if they choose to subscribe I send them to a stripe hosted subscription page, I also am handling certain webhooks when the checkout session is completed.

Once the redirect happens from subscription page to my website, I think I would need to build a connect link on my server and redirect them to a Connect onboarding page.

#

I am just wondering if things are getting way too complicated trying to automate it.

uneven rapids
#

please leave the implementation aspect aside

#

just from a business perspective

#

describe what you're trying to achieve

compact mason
#

let advisor users charge users seeking advice within my platform

#

I get the subscription fee per month from advisors, advisors get to charge people seeking advice on my platform

uneven rapids
#

ok, so the advisors would be the connected accounts

#

and you're the platform

#

the people seeking the advice are the customers

#

now this is where things get a bit more complicated

#

what type of charge you're going to use

#

to decide on that there are many factors

#

1- are the customers shared between the different advisors?

#

read the use cases and see which one fits your platform best

#

once you decide on the charge type, then it would be a lot easier to explain how to use connect for subscriptions

compact mason
#

1- yeah, one advisor to many customers is the goal for success for the advisors, and a user can hopefully, continue to use the site and get other advisors in other categories as needed
2- I think I am looking at needing this

hey there, stepping in for tarzan who needs to step away

#

Are the customer<>advisor payments also subscriptions/recurring, or one time payments?

compact mason
#

Indirect charge, I basically only want to provide the platform and charge a fee, the users need to deal with one another on charges.
Can it make sense to give the advisors instructions on how to create their own Strip accounts and add the payment link to their profile, would that isolate me from their transactions? Is that even a good idea? This is my first time integrating payment collection into a website, so I may not be considering important safety topics, maybe I need to view transaction of connected accounts for reporting fraud or something, not sure.

#

And would those customers understand to be paying you (the platform) or only interacting with the connected account?

allow my platform subscribers to send a link to other users of the plaform for payment

users need to deal with one another on charges

These two descriptions lead me to believe you're expecting to be able to have the customers pay directly between their stripe accounts, which isnt something thats currently possible. they would be customers of one another and modeled as such, there would be no known connection to their other stripe account unless you create that link yourself.

compact mason
#

I just don't understand the connect work flow, also I don't want any other fees, I just want the advisors to be have the ability to chare people who approach them for advice

vital tiger
#

If you don't want to be involved at all, you can use accounts with full Dashboard access to create products and payment links etc, but its unclear then how you'll manage the restricted content on your side without structured control of the subscriptions

compact mason
vital tiger
#

Ok so you do need to be in the loop

compact mason
#

in a way, that its all happening as each user is logged in to their account on my site

vital tiger
compact mason
#

ok will do, is there a base url to create the connect account url?

vital tiger
#

What do you mean by that?

compact mason
#

nvm, its a dumb question sorry for that😅

#

I think I am good, thanks everyone for taking my questions
