Hey! Yep, Connect works with recurring payments. But they'd need to be onboarded first

Create subscriptions with Connect

With Connect, you can create subscriptions for connected accounts, optionally taking fees in the process.

As I understand this documentation, this is to create a subscription on behalf of a connected account (i.e my sellers can charge a subscription to their customers on my platform). I want to charge a subscription on my sellers, so they have to pay to use my platform.

Ah, I misunderstood. Yes, still possible although the concepts are a little disconnected

Awesome, do I need to create "parallel" customer and connected account objects? any guidance on the bits of documentation to piece this together?

#

Well your 'customer' (i.e. the users who's paying the subscription fee to use your platform) would exist as a Customer object on the platform account. There's no direct relationship between that and the corresponding connected account (which is an entirely different object in itself)

#

I guess you would persist that in your own database somewhere

#

Awesome that's along the same lines I was thinking, just need to track both id's in the DB

#

Thanks for the confirmation - much appreciated thankyou
