Comment to Stripe Connect and Recurring Payments

  • Thanks for the reply @LeonidS but I still don't have any clearer picture of how things work.

    If a user on our site monetizes a Space or Group, do we have to either set up that subscription as a product within their Stripe account (with Stripe Connect setup) or in ours (every other setup). So even if we have it on single seller mode and send them invoices (which is very far from ideal and an odd setup), their subscriptions would still need to be setup as products on our Stripe account, right?

    Is the only way around this to use Credits? Sounds like that may be the only way for things to function easily and most efficiently for sellers...while making things a bit more tougher for buyers because there is an extra step of buying credits.

    • The approx way is described here: https://unacms.com/cmts-view/d20d2g?sys=bx_forum&cmt_id=39406 "Use Stripe Connect, but in this case, all sellers should have Stripe accounts which should be connected to your main account." The Credits way is the most universal due to the lack of payment providers availability in different countries.

      • Again, thank you for responding…

        I have read that thread, along with every other thread on the topic AND the wiki and my main question is still not answered!

        The question is if every subscription offered on the platform for every space and group has to also be set up as a product within a stripe account, either ours or the creators account.

          Yes, if you have the subscription then it is necessary to create the product in the Stripe's side which should be connected with the product / serivce in UNA. If you don't like this way for your customers and you need to get the instant fee instead of sending invoices later, then Credits are the only way to do that.
