To implement Stripe Connect, design your marketplace payment flows by creating connected accounts, selecting direct, destination, or separate charges and transfers models, and configuring platform fee calculations for compliant multi-party transactions.

Destination charges process the payment and route funds to the connected account in one step, while Separate Charges and Transfers (SCF) splits the charge and the transfer, offering more control over multi-party payment flows and timing.

Onboard sellers by creating Standard, Express, or Custom Connected Accounts, handling regulatory compliance requirements, and managing payout failures to ensure business continuity in your platform's financial operations.

Calculate and collect platform fees by configuring the application fee parameter during the charge creation process, ensuring accurate fee deduction before routing the remaining balance to the connected account.

Yes, Stripe Connect supports managing payouts for international sellers by creating connected accounts across different regions, such as creating an Express account for a seller in Japan, while addressing regional regulatory compliance.

Use Custom Connected Accounts when your platform needs complete control over the onboarding experience and regulatory compliance handling, whereas Standard and Express accounts rely more on Stripe's hosted onboarding flows.
