It sounds like a Stripe App use case actually
Connect or OAuth has some restriction, that if they have connnected to another Platform already, they won't be able to connect to you

got it, thanks! regarding Stripe Apps:
-
I've went through the documentation but it's not clear whether I can embed an external script into the app? I feel a live chat feature is essential for any startup, but doesn't seem I can do it within a Stripe app...
-
I noticed that Stripe apps don't have a built-in billing solution, like Shopify does for their apps. What would be the best solution for implementing billing within a Stripe app? For a web app I'd go with Stripe checkout + customer portal, the flow would be rather complicated for a Stripe app

I am not super familar but
- Yeah don't think that's possible. Only know there are examples on calling 3rd party OAuth ie. https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-apps/sample-apps#minimal
- Yeah it doesn't have. But basically you are a Platform and they connect to you, so you can create a Subscription for them (your Connected Account) https://stripe.com/docs/connect/subscriptions#connected-account-platform

ref. #2 => if I need to develop a Stripe app, then I won't be using Connect hence I'm not a platform, right? 😀

I think you will still have your user connected to you so technically that's a connection. https://stripe.com/docs/stripe-apps/migrate-extension#add-permissions-and-upload

Well, seems to make sense, I see that as a Stripe app you get the same amount of API permissions as for extensions. And, as you have more granular permissions such as subscription_write, you could create a subscription tied to the connected account. Not sure though whether that's the best approach vs redirecting them to a Stripe checkout to more naturally subscribe 😀
