Hi there, the purpose of a SetupIntent is to collect a payment method from a customer without charing them. If the purpose is payment, you should just use PaymentIntent API
civic flame
Because the Payment Intent do not allow charging to multiple connected account
tepid ruin
No, you can't create a PaymentIntent for multiple connected account. But you can do a separate charge and transfers https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers

I am using Payment Element in frontend. I need to calculate commission on backend, so I can't give total amount to generate PyamentIntent
Separate charge and transfers do not support worldwide. Right?
tepid ruin
Hmm. But how you do render the PaymentElement without a PaymentIntent? a PaymentIntent's clientSecret is required to render the PaymentIntent.
Stripe supports separate charges and transfers in the following regions: Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the US. Separate charges and transfers are supported if both your platform and the connected account are in the same region
civic flame
That's a problem. So I create a Setup intent, then pass the secret key to the UI. But that will create a lot of setup intents.

@civic flame where is your account based?

We are developing a payment plugin for marketplace. Specifically the WC Vendors plugin

yes but where is your Stripe account located in?
civic flame
It's US or European
trim sonnet

civic flame
Yes, but my customers can come from anywhere.
