Hi there, reading!
Yep sounds right to me overall. Let's back up and talk about the Connect piece real quick.
Where are you creating the Subscriptions?
On your Platform or on the Connected Accounts?
As that will align with where you would create the Products/Prices.
Like what funds flow model are you using?

Where are you creating the Subscriptions?
So I think that may be where I’m confused, I’m not really sure. If it helps at all it could be thought of exactly like https://ko-fi.com if you’re familiar. I believe it would all just be on the Connected Accounts, the users would just be paying each other and the platform would just be facilitating the transfer it would not be holding the money or handling payouts, as far as I know.

What type of Connected Accounts are you planning on using?
Or have you not decided on that?

Standard accounts

Okay yeah in that case you want to be creating the products/prices on the Connected Accounts and using Direct Charges, meaning you create the Subscriptions on the Connected Accounts.
So yeah, you essentially are going to do what you stated above.... each time there is a new donation you create a new price. It is up to you if you just want to use a single product or multiple.... but really it probably is easiest with a single product.
Then each time you can list prices on the Account and check if there is already a price created for that unit_amount.
If so, you just use that already-created price ID
If not, you create a new one.

Ok great, that makes sense to me! Was just worried about going down the wrong path early on but that clarifies things, I’ll give it a shot. Thank you!
