Hello
Hmm that's not really possible
You would only top up your account for a Connect use-case really
I see. Correct me if Im wrong, connect is primarily for when you create a platform where you have multiple connected accounts, correct? We only want to create a platform for our own business with one stripe account. Our use case includes adding funds to the balance, adding bank account and send and receive payments from 3rd party and other stripe account oustide our platform. But first off, we need to add funds to our stripe account from our app. Is it possible to do that with connect? And is it okay to use connect even if we only use one account?
Can you tell me more about what you mean by:
and send and receive payments from 3rd party and other stripe account oustide our platform
What do you mean by "send payments" here exactly?
Example, using our stripe balance, we want to pay or transfer funds to other stripe account or directly to their bank accounts (not sure yet if we can directly send funds from balance to bank accounts)
Yeah that's not possible without using Connect
You can't transfer funds to another account without that being a Connected Account for your platform
The only other option would be to see if Stripe Treasury fits your use-case: https://docs.stripe.com/treasury
Still though for what you are describing you would often use Connect + Treasury
But feel free to read through those docs
Oh I see.When you say "can't transfer funds to another account without that being a Connected Account for your platform", does this mean these connected accounts where created through our platform? If a user has an existing stripe account, they need to go through our app and create a connected account? Please correct me if Im wrong.
If they already have a Stripe account then you can connect them via OAuth to your account
Otherwise you would create a new account for them that would be connected to your platform
So both options are supported. It also depends on what type of Connected Accounts you want to work with.
Totally fine for someone to have multiple Stripe Accounts if you want to isolate these users to your platform
Oh okay, but for a stripe account to be connected to my platform, they need to either create their account through my platform or connect them via OAuth?
Yes
