#Zachary - Stripe ID
south rock
Why are you asking about a cloud function? You can create Stripe accounts via an API call so you would just need to trigger the API request

This kind of splitting of charges sounds like a Connect Scenario to me. However, Connect is a complex system of multi-party billing. I would strongly recommend you thoroughly review the different options to ensure you are aware of all options. This will ensure you make the choices that are the best for your business case.

Okay thank you, ya it’s just that my client is wanting his employees to have stripeIDs under him because that way he doesn’t have to keep track of the money

That is still not simple. There's no such thing as just a "stripeID". You either have an account or not. As far as keeping track of the money, the only way to handle the kind of payment splitting your are talking about in using Connect.
Like I said, that is not simple. You will want to review the implementation carefully and present the options to your client

Okay I’m sorry, that’s why I’m asking
The reason why I was thinking stripeID is because customers have them. But I’ll go through Connect
south rock
Yeah Customer objects do. But you cannot send money or share money with Customers
brittle tundra
Yes I understand. The reason why I was curious was because I thought employees needed one too. But you helped me understand

Okay great. After you've gone through the materials let me know if you have any implementation questions.
