#Geico - connect invoice
sacred herald
Yes, it’s for an affiliate platform where the person referring only gets say 20% of the first subscription payment and the user subscribing gets 20% off

In that case you will want to use a Webhook listener and listen for the invoice.created event. That invoice stays in draft mode for 1 hour, allowing you to make updates to it before it is finalized. During that window you update in the invoice and set the transfer_data property to the correct Account (destination) and Amount

Hmm alright, I’ll see if I can make this work! Thanks!

Sure thing đź‘Ť
You'll need to know it's the first invoice
For that you'll want to check the billing_reason property
if it's subscription_create, that's the first invoice of a new subscription

One more question, the stripe account that’s actually taking the payments is also a connected standard account. How would I be able to handle refunds and chargebacks on the payments that have already been divvied to the express account
sacred herald
if it's `subscription_create`, that's the first invoice of a new subscription
Perfect thank you

Hmmm...how are the charges being created? Are you using Direct, Destination, or Separate Charge & Transfer?
bold bolt
Right but how to handle the refunds and chargebacks depends on which of the three types of Connect charges are used. You can review each case here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges
sacred herald
Is it possible to change which type is used for a subscription?
I was under the impression it’s not
bold bolt
That depends on how you create the Subscription.
