Thank you.
Yes this is the currently recommended approach. When you say
we can move the customer to billing plan
What does that mean? In this flow the subscription is created on the customer. The webhook is mostly used simply to keep track of all the steps in the payment process.
sonic falcon
it meant to activate the billing subscription cycle
median fractal
And your question is what are the disadvantages of this approach?
sonic falcon
yes
median fractal
Well you will still need to listen for webhook events but that is generally the case. Some payment methods will not reconcile synchronously.
sonic falcon
whats do you mean Not all payment methods will reconcile synchornously.
median fractal
In some cases payments may be declined after having received an initial success. But that's true of any payments so doesn't necessarily apply specifically to the subscription workflow
sonic falcon
ok thats make sense thank you
1 more quick question my understanding is that only connect accounts are capable of getting payouts not non-connect accounts is that correct ?

heya @sonic falcon, wanted to add on, you'd want to listen for webhook events also because the callback may not occur e.g. your customer may close the browser before the redirect happens.
i'm not sure i understood your question on only connect accounts are capable of getting payouts - could you perhaps try rephrasing?
sonic falcon
working on manual payout api . this is only available for connect accounts to move funds in between those , not possible to payout to a standard account
is that statement correct ?
slate plover
a payout means to move funds from the Stripe account balance to their bank account. You can use it for a Standard account too
thorny cobalt
(NOT with Stripe) - it also means it does NOT move money between different connect accounts directly
slate plover
yeah, you can't move money between different connect accounts directly
