Hello 👋
That just sounds like creating direct charges no?

It is exactly like direct charges. The problem is there are multiple sellers and direct charges cannot be split into multiple accounts. Thoughts?

Hmm yeah, with multiple sellers involved the only option would be for the platform to create the charges on itself instead (so destination charges OR separate charges & transfers)
However, we don't recommend you use that with Standard accounts 😦 So the only option would be to switch to using express OR custom accounts instead
Just a heads up though, our team on discord won't know a ton about regulations so I'd highly recommend writing in to our support so that they can put you in touch with the right team that knows more about this

Yeah - I've definitely tried with Support, but it doesn't appear that they are familiar either. If we were to try destination charges, could those be split up to go to multiple accounts? Could the transfer_data parameter have multiple accounts? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges#application-fee

Hi 👋
No that is not possible with destination charges

Ok - then, is this sort of implementation even possible? See above conversation for details.

my colleague has already answered the question in the message above
We have one approach that could work but it is not recommended for Standard Connect

You just said that destination charges wouldn't work and the whole idea is that we, as a platform, never have the funds moved into our platform account. From my understanding, separate charges/transfers requires collecting the money in our account first. Am I missing something? Please clarify.
