You would have to onboard Standard Connect accounts that themselves are also Connect Platforms

#

So Your Platform --> Standard Connect account --> Standard Connect account's Connect account

ok. would i need to get that standard connect account's API keys for that process?

There are a couple of ways to do this. I'd recommend reading up on authenticating as Connect accounts here --> https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication

Making API calls for connected accounts

Learn how to add the right information to your API calls so you can make calls for your connected accounts.

pretty familiar with that document

#

but. is there anyway for acct_2 to pay acct_3 without having acct_2's api keys? my platform account, acct_1 doesnt get access to transfering money from acct_2 to acct_3

#

AH, I see what you're asking now. i believe you'd have to have that account's API keys in order to make Connect requests on their behalf.

We don't support "grandparent" connect relationships like this, no. As a platform you can only take actions for/as your own connected accounts, you cannot do anything for/as any connected accounts of that account

#

That would need to be done by the connected account itself (which would be another platform, and might also be controlled by you)

#

This is done sometimes eg for large multinational companies with say an HQ platform account, then regional platform accounts connected to that. eg PlatformHQ has connected accounts PlatformUS and PlatformUK, which then have their own connected accounts A B C D, but PlatformHQ can't do anything with A B C D itself
