Hi there 👋 if you'd like to collect the necessary onboarding information for your Connected Accounts and proivde that to Stripe, then Custom Connected Accounts may be a better fit for you than Standard ones:
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/custom-accounts
But if you want to send funds to third-parties as part of your Stripe flow, you will need to leverage Connect and create Connected Accounts for those parties.

Ok sweet so if we set them as users and not businesses which is what they will be they can receive payments and not have to go through the businesses information section kinda like ebay
dull island
I don't know ebay's flows, I can't compare them to those. You will still need to provide us with enough information to onboard these entities as Connected Accounts.
vapid imp
which from the docs is curl their personal information and https://api.stripe.com/v1/accounts
-u "sk_test_4eC39HqLyjWDarjtT1zdp7dc:"
-d country=US
-d type=custom
-d "capabilities[card_payments][requested]"=true
-d "capabilities[transfers][requested]"=true

I'd recommend rolling your secret key now that it's been shared in a public forum.
Ah, just kidding, that's one of our secret keys.
vapid imp
Public one from forum
But basically the country info and personal info is the minimum requirement for custom connect accounts
dull island
That depends on the country of your platform and the country of the connected account, you should use the tables here to view what the minimum required onboarding information is for your scenario:
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/required-verification-information

If we code it ourselves I am guessing we will have to dynamically change the from: If we use your onboarding flow can we set the business type to individual and then it will ask the minimum requried info
dull island
Yup
vapid imp
Or alternately can we make ourselves the business entity and recive and send payments
dull island
You can collect payments through Stripe, but you won't be able to send the funds you collected to your third-parties through Stripe unless you use Connect.

Ok sweet, Do you know the page where is goes through individual type connect account creation ?
dull island
Sorry, I'm not sure I'm grasping what you're asking for. Is it something beyond what is covered in the first doc that I linked?
