Hello 👋
Stripe Connect is a product that helps you build a platform like lyft, uber, shopify etc
where you are accepting payments but also paying your drivers/vendors etc
Is that what you're trying to build?
https://docs.stripe.com/connect
Or did you mean using Stripe Checkout?
granite tulip
No really just need Stripe Checkout. but wanted to add a PayPal option to purchase. I guess I would just have to set that up as a separate option from Stripe?
pure tendon
Stripe Checkout does support Paypal but we currently only support PayPal for accounts based in europe
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/paypal
granite tulip
yeah that's the problem. need US
pure tendon
Yeah that's not something we support today.
You'd need to integrate it directly via Paypal
granite tulip
what about using Zapier to connect PayPal and Stripe? is that a good route to go you think? I've seen something mentioning that
pure tendon
Not sure. You'd want to check with zapier as it is a third-party integration. We'd know near to nothing about them 🙂

ok. another quick question. Eventually we are gonna have Creators on our site where it will be setup where someone creates a video course and others will be able to sell it and the creator will make money off it so therefore we would be paying out the creator. Is that something Stripe Connect would be useful for?

👋 Stepping in for my teammate. Could you share more details on the relationship between the creators and the sellers?
granite tulip
well the creators just create their page/course with the videos and that course will be accessible for others to sell. So the sellers are Affiliates. They get a cut, the creators get a cut and we get a cut.
so the sellers are the creators publishers/affiliate marketers
cold finch
It sounds like you might be able to use separate charges and transfers. For this to work on Connect, you'd create a charge on your platform and, separately, transfer a portion of the funds to the creators and a portion of the funds to the sellers
granite tulip
ok, got it. thank you both for the help
