Hi there!
I recommend to read that doc, it should cover everything you need: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/collect-then-transfer-guide
pulsar urchin
i checked but confused
lone garden
Happy to help if you have specific questions.
pulsar urchin
the connect account is for specific user or the customer inside connect account is for specific user
?
lone garden
You are the platform with a Stripe account. People that can receive money are the Connected accounts. People that pay are Customers (the end users).
pulsar urchin
the issue is anyone can receive and pay, so creating user for every account is becoming complicated
any other solution?
lone garden
If you need to send money to someone using Stripe, then you need to use Connect and they need to have a Stripe account. There's no other way.
Note that there are different account types possible: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
pulsar urchin
stripe account to stripe account transfer is possible?
lone garden
If you are a platform account, and you have accounts connected to you, then yes the platform acn transfer funds to the connected account.
pulsar urchin
platform account as in the main account?
lone garden
yes
pulsar urchin
or stripe connect account?
lone garden
The platform account (main account) is connected to multiple connected account. You can transfer money from the platform to any of the connected accounts.
pulsar urchin
so can stripe connect account send payment to another stripe connect account

Hello 👋
Taking over as soma needs to step away soon
The Platform account can transfer money to connected accounts, yes.
pulsar urchin
how about connected account inter transfer?
fickle frost
Connected accounts can't transfer to each other, no.
Platform has to be involved.
pulsar urchin
so first connected account will transfer amount to platform account then platform account will transfer to second connected account?
fickle frost
Yup
pulsar urchin
can you please provide doc for transfer between platform and connected account
to and fro
fickle frost
I don't think we have a guide as such for this because this also depends on the type of connected account you're using.
Platform can transfer the amount to connected accounts using the transfers API
https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers
However, they can't create an account debit on standard accounts, only express and custom supports that
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-debits
For standard accounts, you'd need to create a Customer object and charge their payment method as usual (instead of pulling from their available balance)

i didn't get this part.
fickle frost
For standard connected accounts, You'll need to create a Customer object for the connected account (like you would for a typical customer on your app) and have them store their payment method so that you can charge them whatever amount you have to
You can't use account debit with Standard Accounts so that would be a workaround
pulsar urchin
ok
one more doubt, suppose i need my users to pay one time fee, which service can i use?
fickle frost
There are a couple of options. What is this fee for exactly?
You could use PaymentLinks, Stripe Checkout, PaymentIntents etc.
Are you looking for an API based solution or just a way to accept one-time payment?
pulsar urchin
one time membership fee
fickle frost
Sorry what I meant was Is that part of a subscription or just an individual payment?
