Hi there!

Just to be clear, does that mean you want the connected accounts to be the merchant of record?
If that's the case, you can do this with Connect if you use direct charges or destination charges with on_behalf_of. I recommend reviewing the funds flows diagrams on this page: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/charges

I want it to appear that the connected account are in fact the businesses the buyers are interacting with
like for example, I want to have their logo on the receipts
and their service links, customer support, address, phone number, etc
golden dust
Got it. Yes, in that case, I recommend using direct charges or destination charges with on_behalf_of.

I want to stress that clients shouldn't be able to tell that they are doing business with the marketplace, but just with that specific connect account. Essentially white-label experience
"For direct charges, Checkout uses the brand settings of the connected account."
golden dust
Both direct charges or destination charges with on_behalf_of will achieve this. If you use destination charges without on_behalf_of, your buyers will know they're interacting with your platform
golden dust
I recommend seeing this in action by creating some test mode connected accounts and trying out the different charge types
I also recommend paying close attention to how you want refunds and chargebacks handled (if you want to be responsible for them as the platform or if you want the connected account to be responsible for these): https://docs.stripe.com/connect/charges#disputes-and-chargebacks

Can I just add "connect" to my existing non-connect stripe account?
and test it out?
Another question - I have been developing the integration for this business for a few years. We use payment intents, invoices, and subscriptions.
Now there is this new requirement to add a connected account and apply all of the already created integration on a connected account. How will I convert my already existing integration to connect? Is it as easy as adding a "Stripe-Account" parameter to most of my calls?

You can, yes. Your existing account would then be the "platform" in this case

Depend on what you're trying to do exactly and how objects are currently organized. If you currently have a single Stripe account and now want to make this a platform that has multiple connected accounts and plan on using direct charges, this won't work if you want to use the prices, products, subscriptions, etc. that are currently on the single Stripe account

Is there a migration guide for people moving from a single stripe account to a connect setup?
Really appreciate your answers. If you have any advice on how to convert my single account to a stripe connect account and start adding additional accounts that would be really nice to get. I have to go, but will look back at the thread for reference.

Not exactly since, when using Connect, you typically end up having a different set of settings that apply to your Connected accounts only
