No, US platforms cannot process bacs debit payments on behalf of UK accounts
tacit trellis
Oh, so we'll need a UK platform or one in a supporting country?
I see, thank you
An aside question related to what I'm working on. I have an integration where I create a payment intent after payment method collection, because I don't know the amount for the intent until after my form is submitted. Is that possible with bacs_debit? I understand it isn't ideal. https://stripe.com/docs/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred
delicate roost
Yup! You'll need an account in a supported country
and yes, the flow you linked to should support bacs debit

When I was trying to use createPaymentMethod and passing the payment element to it, I kept getting an error. I'll try to pull up the exact copy, but what would be an example input for this method if I'm using bacs? https://stripe.com/docs/js/payment_methods/create_payment_method

I'd want to see the exact error you're getting first - there shouldn't be anything BACS specific you need for createPaymentMethod
tacit trellis
I'm getting 'No type of elements provided' when I call
stripe.createPaymentMethod({
elements: myPaymentElement,
params: addressFields()
});
myPaymentElement is the payment element, and the addressFields are all the billing details needed
delicate roost
You shouldn't be passing in myPaymentElement - you want to be passing in the elements group that you created - You want this (https://stripe.com/docs/js/payment_methods/create_payment_method_elements)

I see, thank you. I'll give that a try!
Final question on this, would it be possible for a US platform account to create a bacs debit payment within the UK connected account, and not on behalf of it?
delicate roost
What do you mean by that? do you mean as a direct charge w/ the stripe-account header?
tacit trellis
Yeah, is a direct charge possible?
It seems like a direct charge is possible while collecting fees as described here? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges#collecting-fees
delicate roost
Yup direct charges would definitely work in this case

I see, this is very helpful! Thank you so much!
