I need some kind of explanation what this whole Stripe Connect thing is. So they share our API key and have their own additional account string?

#

I have a database with the secret key and account number for all the connect accounts. But in the UI, I need the public API key.

Yes, connected account will use the plaform public API key. However, you'd need to include stripeAccount as connected account ID when initialising StripeJS: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication#adding-the-connected-account-id-to-a-client-side-application

OK thanks. Looking at the database, there aren't very many rows at the moment, but they all have the same secret API key.

If I understand you correctly, that's not because I only have a few rows of data. It's because they all share a common key but have their own account string. Right?

#

Yes! All the connected account will be accessed via platform secret or public keys with Stripe-Account as connected account ID

#

No additional API keys will be needed for each connected account

Finally, just to be paranoid that we don't have more than one public key, is there an API call I can make to get the public key from the secret key?

#

Wouldn't surprise me if we have more than one. Maybe one per region or someting.

#

There's no API call to retrieve public key. You will be able to find public key in the dashboard: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys

OK, thank you. That was helpful.
