Hello Andreas. Looking now. Give me a moment to catch up

#

What type of Connected Accounts are you going to use?

ivory mesa Jan 31, 2022, 5:12 PM

#

Express* sorry! I was wrong

clear kestrel Jan 31, 2022, 5:14 PM

#

Ok so with Express, all requests are initiated by the platform (prices are created by the platform, etc.), so even if the creators define them, they will be created by your platform and you will have access to those price objects

#

And I don't think you need to use a setupintent here. One time payments don't need one and subscriptions won't need one as well

#

So you think the best way would be to create a price / subscription object for each pricing plan of a product on our platform?

#

Because the setupIntent is (if I am right) when we want to trigger the monthly payments by ourself! But to be honest, we don't need to do that... If the solution could be to sync each pricing plan with the stripe platform I'm fine! E.g. there is a 1000€ product and the creator defines OTP 1000€ or 5 settlements each 200€, then what would be the best way to start a payment and let the customer select?

#

With express accounts the prices would have to be created on the platform. For installments, how are you planning to implement those (klarna, afterpay, etc. or are going to implement yourself)?

ivory mesa Jan 31, 2022, 5:23 PM

#

installments are a pretty new requirement for our platform, so I was thinking of the following process: Example: A customer buys a 12 month abo product, then 12 different payment intents (or charges) are stored in our database, and are triggered by cron on the platform... I am veeerry sorry if this is totally wrong and there is a better posibility and I didn't find it yet

clear kestrel Jan 31, 2022, 5:24 PM

#

I would recommend you just do a subscription for an installment

ivory mesa Jan 31, 2022, 5:25 PM

#

so if a creator decides to offer an abo plan, then create a subscription on stripe by our platform, right?

And is it possible to start a subscription and attach it to a connect account as well?

#

like this https://stripe.com/docs/connect/subscriptions

clear kestrel Jan 31, 2022, 5:26 PM

#

Yeah. You'd want this flow with an Express account (destination charges): https://stripe.com/docs/connect/subscriptions#transfer

ivory mesa Jan 31, 2022, 5:27 PM

#

I think that's the way it is 🙂 ..
So the best thing is to keep stripe and our platform synced all the time and just refer to stripe subscriptions, stripe products and stripe prices, link them to stripe connect accounts and that's it.. I will give it a try

#

thank you so far! 😊
