Hello 👋
It'd honestly depend on your integration.
You would need to clone the customer to the connected account in order to use direct charges and can probably use metadata to reference customer ID that's on the platform to identify.

Then once the customer updates something, you'd want to listen for the change via the webhook and update both the objects accordingly

I was honestly hoping that you will just say: Here like this you can use the customers data from your platform as connected account 😄 Thanks!

I think my best way to keep everything in sync is to just re-use their payment methods, and just manage their payment methods instead of copying the whole customer data object. But thanks for clarifying, seems like the objects are independent and needs to be handled manually to keep them in sync.

Ah, but to create an direct invoice, I still need to have the customer record on the connected account, right?

Basically my idea is this:
Ability for a connected account to invoice a customer on our platform. The more independent they are from our platform, the better. That's why we think that the best way would be the direct charges, since we will just specify our fee, and that's it, rest of it is up to the connected account to handle it. But it is really important to have invoices for all of the charges that we are doing, so I am testing how to create a direct charge with the invoice only, but seems like I must have the customer on the connected account, not just the payment method.

Yup that is correct.
