When I try to make a PaymentIntent I would like to be able to declare several accounts in the "transfer_data" field, so that it makes at least 2 transfers once the payment has been made, is this possible?
No, you need to use Separate charge and transfers instead

Usually this channel is for technical integration question, but tell me what is your ask exaclty and see what I can help ?
First of all have you had a chance to go through this guide?

I comment very superficially, in my platform there will be a hamburger championship, where for each hamburger sale, the restaurant gets most of the money and the organizer gets $1. In the future more functionalities will be added in which the organizer will not be involved but my platform will charge a commission per sale.
Given this scenario, how would you use Connect, what type of account would you use?
PS: In the contest we don't charge commission, but maybe next year we will, and relevant fact, some of the merchants have very little affinity with technology.

Ok so you have two Connected Account that are involved in the sale of a Burger
So you need to use separate charge and transfer as mentioned earlier
Now you have two options of Accounts, you can use Express (the easiest option) or Custom (You have more customizable options but you need to to implement things on your side, you need an engineering team for this)
You can understand the difference here:

If you are not yet familiar with Stripe Connect, I recommend starting with Express Account:

And why don't you recommend using a Connect Started account?
lilac flame
Started account ? you mean Standard account ?
upbeat viper
Yes! Sorry
lilac flame
Standard Account are for Direct Charges only
if you want to have control over the funds then you need to use Express or Custom account with Destination or Separate charge and transfer
and as you need to make multiple transfer from one single charge
then you need to use Serpate Charge and transfers with Express or Custom
I invite you to read all the guides I shared with you, in order to understand the difference well.
