Hey @gritty mango ! First I highly recommend not using OAuth at all for Express. Please follow the docs at https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts which will be a lot better.
Other than this, it's a bit tough to say honestly as the question is really high level. There are many things to think about from collecting the right information for the connected account, choosing your fund flow like do you want the connected account to be the "merchant of record" or they just receive funds?
This is something better discussed with our support team instead. You can talk about your overall business model, the countries you plan to operate in, etc.
Thanks @bright tree I already went through the above documentation, but as its existing integration so have to go with O-auth flow for now even for express.
Now coming to other point you mentioed
connected account will definitely receive funds and other term "merchant of record" is what i am not aware of 😦
yeah that's why working with our support team would be the right path here, this isn't really a 'developer question' in the sense that a lot of this depends on many factors: countries you're in, flow of funds, how your business model is designed, etc
umm ok, but i guess thats already done with the product team and thats how we came to point to upgrade to express accounts to make transfer outside of US and keep using standard account to make transfer within US.
i'll again check with my product team if this is discussed or not.
Moving to Express is only one of the numerous questions
1/ You should never transfer funds from your own platform account to a Standard connected account. Even within the US
2/ It's unclear if you want to collect all payments yourself and then just distribute funds. Which would be https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cross-border-payouts or if you want to accept payments on behalf of those connected accounts/businesses and have them appear as the "merchant of record" that is selling the service.
There are a lot of specific questions to make decisions on and after you make those you can build the right integration
so talking to our support team is the best next step here
