@fathom bison hi! probably not directly no! What is a 'connect id' and at a higher level what are you trying to do?

well I have a client that has a custom flow

#

but the guy who developed it literally made it a mess and encyripted some files etc.

#

so there are merchants and customers

#

merchants can subscribe into a plans

#

while customers only can buy things

#

so I'm tryna find the fastest route for creating a subscription for mechants

#

and most of them don't have a customer id

well you can only create a Subscription object in our API for a customer(a Stripe Customer object ID cus_xxx). Customers represent a cardholder or someone who pays you essentially, a Subscription represents charging that person on a recurring basis.

Now maybe in your system you have a connected account(like a merchant selling things) who is also an end-customer of yours; and then you probably have stored in those records both a Stripe Account acct_xxx, and a Stripe Customer cus_xxx and you tie them together as the same "entity"; that's somewhat common
