Hi there!
If you want to send money to some users, then you have to use Stripe Connect.

It's not me that sends money to the customer, it's a company "charging" a customer
What would be the process ?
serene flame
Can you clarify the payment flow? What's the relationship between you, the companies, and the customers?
sand stirrup
I create the platform because I'm a developer.
Companies can select prospects out of a list, which are both registered in the platform, they can discuss with them, or create quotes etc...
One of the key features of the platform is that the Companies can accept deposits from their selected customers, that's where I need help 😅
serene flame
So you are the platform account. Then companies are connected account. And those companies can accept payments from customers?
sand stirrup
Yes, that's right
serene flame
Got it. Then what exactly is your question? How to allow the connected accounts to accept payments?
sand stirrup
Exactly 😅
And if I absolutely need connected accounts ?
If so, is it free for me as the creator of the platform ?

If you want your users to be able to process payments from their customers under the banner of your platform, then yes those are connected accounts
See Connect pricing here: https://stripe.com/connect/pricing
sand stirrup
Yes I think I'll go with the standard one
It seems to be free, as it says included
Right ?

Well you shouldn't select the account type you used based on pricing. It needs to fit with your business model and the type of account can determine the type of payments you can process: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
