I don't think that's possible. Do you refer to Payout?

errant scroll Feb 8, 2023, 7:27 AM

#

I mean I have a stripe account. Someone wants to pay me using the gmail associated with my account. Is that possible?

barren parcel Feb 8, 2023, 7:27 AM

#

No I don't think so

#

So for address of an account what can be used here?

#

What UI is that?

errant scroll Feb 8, 2023, 7:32 AM

#

This is the UI for my application, my seller needs to setup his account to receive payment in that account

#

That's not possible (pay by email). The only way is you making their Stripe account (if any) to be a Connected Account to your account, then you use funds flow like Destination Charge or Separate Charges and Transfers, then setup Payout

#

Isn't there any method of payment from one stripe account to another stripe account?

barren parcel Feb 8, 2023, 7:57 AM

#

other than the fund flows above, no there isn't. If you think of using Transfer (as part of the Separate Charges and Transfers above) it is easy

#

You specify an amount and the account id, then do a transfer to it

#

I don't know the best way to solve this problem. My entities are:

Platform (will have a stripe account and will collect fees)
Seller (Will have a stripe account and will receive payments of item sold)
Buyer (Will pay using cards)

Seller will sell the items in our platform. Buyer will pay the specified amount, some deductions will be sent to platform stripe account and remaining amount is sent to seller stripe account. I thought destination charge will be best for this. But now I think that won't work because seller needs to have a connected account with the platform account. I don't know the best solution offered by stripe here.

#

because seller needs to have a connected account with the platform account
This part is always true and is a pre-condition to use this flow

#

You can't have unrelated account and pay for it

errant scroll Feb 8, 2023, 8:06 AM

#

Can we create connected account using API?

barren parcel Feb 8, 2023, 8:07 AM

#

Yes

errant scroll Feb 8, 2023, 8:08 AM

#

Any reference resource for that?

barren parcel Feb 8, 2023, 8:09 AM

#

Yeah this for Express Account: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts#create-account

Using Connect with Express accounts

Express enables your platform to manage payout schedules, customize the flow of funds, and control branding. Stripe will handle onboarding, account management, and identity verification for your platform.

So my flow will be ->

I will have my platform account
For each sellers I will be creating a connected express account through API (From here I will get sellerAccountId)
While creating checkout sessions, I need to use particular sellerAccountId as destination
