FAQPage Schema
How do I onboard sellers to my marketplace using Stripe Connect?

Stripe Connect enables seller onboarding through Account Links or OAuth integration. Create a connected account (Standard, Express, or Custom), generate an Account Link URL, and direct sellers to complete their verification. Express accounts streamline the process with minimal platform control required.

What's the best way to split payments and collect commissions in a marketplace?

Stripe Connect supports three charge flows: Direct charges to connected accounts, Destination charges with automatic platform fee deduction, or Separate Charges and Transfers for full control. Choose based on your platform's fee structure and payout preferences.

Can I manage multiple seller account types with Stripe Connect?

Yes. Stripe Connect supports Standard accounts (seller manages payouts), Express accounts (Stripe handles verification and payouts), and Custom accounts (full platform control). Select the type matching your control requirements and seller experience.

How do I handle transfers and payouts to multiple sellers?

After charging customers, use Stripe transfers to move funds to connected seller accounts. Schedule automatic payouts on your cadence, or trigger manual payouts. Stripe handles fee deduction and regulatory requirements per account type.

What account verification and compliance requirements apply to Stripe Connect?

Connected accounts require identity and business verification. Express and Standard accounts trigger Stripe's automated verification. Custom accounts need platform-managed verification. Compliance requirements vary by account type, geography, and business model.

How do I securely handle connected account credentials and errors?

Never store API keys or sensitive credentials directly. Use account tokens from OAuth flows or Account Links. Implement error handling for declined charges, verification failures, and payout issues with retry logic and user notifications.
