Hello, what issue are you running in to with that?

[lethal furnace]

Hi, the biggest issue that I have no idea where to start

So we have a button configure stripe and where it supposed to lead?
And how can we store their stripe account data?

like this form

[golden brook]

Are you writing this integration?

Is this "configure stripe" button something from you or from Stripe?

[lethal furnace]

Yes, I am writing this integration.
The configure stripe is our button, currently it's just flipping the value user.stripe.isEnabled from false to true, just for test purposes

[golden brook]

So what are you trying to do here?

What is the relationship of these users to you? Are they customers buying things from you?

[lethal furnace]

The flow is like that:
User creates account on stripe, we store his stripe account data.
Then user creates a channel and sets price for it.
When anybody subscribes to this channel the person pays, 85% of total amount goes to the creator of the channel and the rest to the company (company covers any stripe fees)

@lethal furnace how familiar are you with Stripe? and Stripe Connect?
and the different fund flows with Stripe Connect?

[lethal furnace]

The furthers I ever go is collecting payments (not real one, still didn't launch the project, so just test values) from visitor's bank account to my stripe account.

[primal wing]

ah got it

so there is a LOT of detail and complexity in these topics

here is where I strongly recommend you start

[lethal furnace]

that's why I am here

[primal wing]

that's why I am here
to clarify, I can help with one off questions but I cannot explain all of Connect and fund flows in its entirety to you over a chat convo, it would take us days

so there is lots of reading and understanding you have to do first (writing more)

[lethal furnace]

I know it's big and scary

well let's start with a point of creating a customer and storing his data in our databse

[primal wing]

1/ read up on which Connect account type you will use: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts

2/ read up on that Connect account type, what info is required from account owner, how you onboard them, etc (Express/Standard/Custom)

3/ what fund flow you need to use to take your cut and make a payment for the Connect acct: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges

4/ create a payment page for that fund flow: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/creating-a-payments-page

5/ test this out in test mode

6/ look at the changes in your Stripe Dashboard, figure out what you need to do downstream like tracking payments in databases etc

well let's start with a point of creating a customer and storing his data in our databse
that is covered in links 1/ and 2/ above

[lethal furnace]

damn it, sorry. It's not my task in Jira. Mine is to create a product

[primal wing]

not sure I understand

[lethal furnace]

user A creates a channel. And sets up price for it (either one-time or subscription based payments)
So this channel is the product.

And then user B buys access to the channel

[primal wing]

sure I understand. That still means you have to read all the docs I sent you first.

To be clear, there is A LOT here to first digest on how the Stripe API works, what you need to create in the API that maps to "user creates a Channel".

Please go through the docs I sent you, and I'm happy to help you with explicit questions but right now I think you're missing the understanding of how Stripe Connect API works at even a higher level.

[lethal furnace]

alright, thank you. I'll go through this stuff.
When I have some specific/explicit questions I'll reach you out. If you'll be online 🙂
