Yes, when using connect each connect account can have their own Customer objects that belong to them

How can I connect an account that already exists in stripe?

warm stream Oct 18, 2021, 6:04 PM

#

The only way to do that is through the Oauth flow - https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts

Is there documentation on how to charge a particular customer for a connected account? I cannot find that in the payment intents api documentation.

You'll want to start by taking a look at https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges

Thank You

I am not trying to collect from a connected account. I am trying to collect from a connected accounts customer on behalf of the connected account. Is there a way to do that?

That is essentially what a direct charge is doing - the connect account is charging their customer, the funds go to their balance, and then a portion get transferred to you.

The other flows require the customer objects to live on your (the platform's) account, which I believe is not what you want

#

OK. Thank You, I am just not seeing where the connected account customer is specified.

warm stream Oct 18, 2021, 7:04 PM

#

You would set that on the Payment Intent when you create it (https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-customer)

#

Got it. Is the customer id (Ex: cus_KQsHTg5GsVRfst) set in the customer property of the payment intent object?

#

If it is created with one yes

jovial fog Oct 18, 2021, 7:10 PM

#

Thank you very much. I think I have a good understanding at this point.

Awesome. I am just catching up to this thread now. Do you have any further questions or things blocking you at the moment?
