Hi there! Ask your question in this thread.

Hello!

#

So I want to clone customers from my platform account onto my connect account in order to do a direct charge. I also want to create invoice items for the cloned customer so that I can invoice them.

When I clone the customer, the customer id isn't the same, so I'm guessing I'd have to create a relationship between these two accounts on a database. Is my thinking correct?

Yep that's correct.

#

You only clone the paymentmethod itself

#

You create a new customer on the Connected Account

#

So you would likely want to use metadata to associate

#

So in the metadata I should maybe have something like the customer id of the customer in the platform account?

#

I'd probably use some unique ID across your database and each account so as to avoid confusion.

#

As in.... no I would not use the Stripe customer ID I would use a different random ID that you generate across all 3 places.
