You'll need custom connect accounts if you want them to not be able to access any form of dashboard
Express accounts still have access to a more limited dashboard
ok and is it much harder to use custom account compared to express
hosted onboarding still possible right
Yes, generally custom accounts to require more work than express accounts, but they do still support hosted onboarding (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/custom/hosted-onboarding)
but for example for my case, I just need to payout my accounts, I dont need them to be able to accept payments directly, what would i need to do with custom accounts that i could avoid doing if using the express one
There's a few different things - with custom accounts you need to put in more work to handle changes to compliance requirements, you'd need to build a UI if you want your connected accounts to be able to see they're payouts, things like that
ok and another thing, is there a way to force ID verification on onboarding, because I don't know if it's because of test mode, but it allowed me to create an account and activate it without ID verification
When you're creating the account link what are you setting for collect?
I am not specifying that field
but thing is it says that the identity is verified
even if it was in fact not verified
usually it does let me verify identity, but with this person it didn't ask for it
as I said I was using test mode
It's hard to say for sure - it could depend on country, the capabilities you have enabled, etc.
If you want to guarnatee that you collect as much information as possible up front you can set collect: eventually_due , but if identity verification isn't something that'll be eventually due for that account at all it wouldn't be collected
ok, thing is on production I want to be sure of the identity of the users operating in my platform
If you want to ALWAYS collect identity information for your connect accounts, then I think there's a beta that may fit what you need - I'd recommend checking out https://stripe.com/docs/connect/additional-verifications and contacting the relevant folks through the link towards the bottom
Ok thank you, I will contact them
and btw is there a way to disable that company link field on onboarding with custom accoutns
As far as I know there isn't a way to just disable the field - you could try prefilling it on accuont creation to see if that helps
yeah I am prefilling with the URL of my website for the moment
it's just that i don't see the point of that since I just need the transfers capability
but thank you for your answer
that's everything i needed to know
👍
