Transferring customers into a connected account

[Gabe Ragland]

I'm currently storing customers in my "platform" account rather then on connected accounts. I've had a few people ask whether in the future, if they decide to no longer use my app, could those customers be transferred to their own Stripe account. Is there anyway to clone a customer into a connected account? Can I just store and re-use the original token to re-create the customer later?

Hey Gabe,

What you'd want here is to use Shared Customers [1] for this. This allows you to create a new token from a customer saved in your platform that can be used on a connected account to save the card on a new customer!

Hope this helps!

Ah okay great! Hadn't realized you could create a new token.
