It seems a bit overkill for them to fill in all the information
yes everyone thinks that for some reason. But if you want to pay someone for a service they provide there are strict rules like "know your customer" that require collecting detailed information from them to be allowed to do that whether they are a business or an individual
The rider is a Customer as they pay for a service and all your need are their payment method details.
The driver is an Account as they offer a service and get paid for it
You are a platform as you faciliate payments for another entity/person.
The best flow for you is to create an Express account for the driver, see https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts which makes onboarding much easier. And in terms of flow of funds you want Destination Charges https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges. I recommend watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3z_3jDiPTI which walks you through that flow of funds.

Thanks that makes sense, most websites I use e.g selling some second hand clothes. I don't create some sort of payment account. I just enter in my card details and the money lands in my bank. But maybe this is because selling clothes is not a service?
Looks like i'll go ahead with that connected accounts flow 👍
