Connected Accounts and trying to have a user subscribe to that connected accounts subscription
drifting grove
What type of connect accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
What type of charge: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges
drifting grove
Okay, so ideally you are using Destination charges.

I have already set up and tested regular payments with destination charges, they works great. I can't figure out how to have a user subscribe to a connected accounts subscription
drifting grove
You mean this? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/subscriptions
feral thicket
yeah tried that and get an error saying there is no price for the price id, yet I can see the price id
drifting grove
In your account or the Connect Account?

I am trying the "Create a subscription using destination charges"
the connected account
does the customer have to be listed under the connect account? Or can it be listed under my general stripe account?
I try that and it says: "Stripe.StripeException: No such price: 'price_1KsxH4R48tPAryOlKnwrltHP'"

Hello! I'm taking over and catching up...

And on this screen I can see that, the account and price are there

So an Express account cannot subscribe to another Express account's Subscription. Express accounts represent people who receive money, not people who pay money. Customer objects in the API have the job of representing people who pay or Subscribe to something.
feral thicket
correct, I am not trying to have an Express to Express

At a high level what you probably want is a Subscription that lives on your platform account and has an Express account set as the destination for a portion of the funds, then a Customer who Subscribes to that.
feral thicket
well, no thats not what I want. I want the subscription to live in the express account because thats who creates it. Express accounts on my platform make their own subscriptions with their own prices.\

If the Subscription lives on the Express account that means direct charges, and direct charges should not be used with Express accounts.
You can set up your system to allow your Express accounts to control Subscriptions assigned to them on your platform through your own custom UI.
The Subscriptions themselves would live on your platform account though.

Ok I see what you are saying
Instead of having the connected account create the subscription under their own account, I let them create it on my platform account and then I use that price and set the destination charge to the connected account
rustic moat
Yep!
We have some documentation about doing that in this section specifically: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/subscriptions#transfer

kk I will try that. Thank you!!
