hello! this isn't possible afaik. You can try creating a connected account and then try to create a charge or transfer to it without collecting any information at all.
For context, if the Transfers and/or Card Payments capabilities : https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/object#account_object-capabilities-transfers are not enabled, you won't be able to make transfers or card payments respectively

thanks alex
where do you save the balance of a connected seller's account? the payout balance? which data object?

So to my use case, it should be a flow like this:
(1) create an account object but not initiate the onboarding process.
(2) set the balance object of the account to be the amount paid by the buyer.
(3) when the seller initiates the payout process, gen an account link to complete the seller onboarding process.
(4) after onboarding, start a transfer or payout object to transfer the amount to the seller.
as I read the doc, it only requires an account id to create a balance object. is this correct?

Hmm it's not a recommended flow but you can try in test mode. It doesn't look good when you adjust the balance based on the amount paid by the buyer.
I don't know an API to adjust a balance
It suppose to only increase when you create a Charge successfully

to create a destination charge to a connected account, it only needs its account id but do not require the connected account to complete the onboarding process. Is this correct?
bleak vault
No I don't think so. The account will lack some capabilities to receive a destination charge
