Hello! If you're comfortable with software development then yes, you should be able to use Stripe to build all of this

Ifyou're looking for a no-code solution though, you'll likely want to use a third-party plugin to help

I am comfortable with software development. To be precise, I wanted to build it with React Native and Flask. What tools within Stripe should I look for? What can Stripe help me with? (except handling the payment itself)

Just to doublec check - when you say you want to build a marketplace, are you talking about something like shopify, or are you just talking about your own store/products (you're not accepting payments on behalf of others)

So basically it's going to be a platform where there are teachers I am manually putting in as sellers, and visitors within the website / app will be able to purchase their services. Whenever they purchase, I am taking a commission and the teacher will have a "balance" that they can payout (I saw Stripe can handle that as well).

So yeah more like Shopify I'd say

I am just trying to find and understand the tools I need to use from Stripe, there are so many

Gotcha!

So really there will be two main things you'll need to look into:

• the marketplace aspect (which we support with our Connect product)
• the payment aspect (which we have a few different options for)

For the marketplace part - you'll want to start by choosing your account type: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts. If you want teachers to accept payment directly you'll likely want Standard accounts, but if you want payments to go through your platform then you'll want express or custom accounts. Once you've chosen your account type you'll need to read about how to handle onboarding of new accounts/teachers

For payments - you have a few options on how this can be collected. You can do fully hosted flows like Payment Links, low-code solutions like Checkout, or do a fully custom UI with Payment Element

So I would like the payment to go through our platform, what would you recommend? express or custom?

Also, do you have marketplace samples like the one in the video? I can't find it through the CLI

I'd recommend express - custom is more work to integrate

If you go to https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts we link to an example express integration that may be helpful

Looks just perfect.
Does the Stripe CLI has any samples of such an example? Using React + Flask? Because the rocketrides open source is in Swift as I can see, and I am looking for an example built with react and flask to tweak it for my own needs (if there is such a sample)

I don't know if the Sripe CLI specifically has an example for this - you can use stripe samples list to see the full list of samples though and see if one matches whaty ou want
