Hi 👋 sounds like you're on the right path, as Connect sounds like what you're looking for.
First major decisions are for you to decide which type of Connected Accounts and which charge structure best fits your business model.
These two choices go hand-in-hand as Account Types are recommended to be used with specific charge structures.
Account types: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
Charge types: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges#types

That's not a recommended combination.

What do you recommend
wraith crow
Custom Accounts should be used with Destination Charges or Separate Charges and Transfers.

Custom Accounts+Destination Charges

This doc discusses using Custom Accounts in more detail, and includes instructions for how to create those Accounts.
Once you've created the Account objects, you'll need to collect the necessary onboarding information for those accounts.
You can either use our hosted flow for this:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/connect-onboarding
or you can build your own form for collecting that information and then update the Account with those details via the API:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/update

So, I would create a Custom Accounts+Destination Charges connection and when I make a payment, I would route it through the Custom Accounts, in this way each client would make the payment to their provider??

With Destination Charges, the customer will pay you (the Platform Account), and then a portion of the funds from that transaction will be sent to the Connected Account that you specify via a Transfer.
A visualization of the funds flow can be found in our Destination Charges doc that is linked to from our charge types doc:

I appreciate the help, read the entire doc and see how to configure everything.
