Hello
You can make multiple transfers to the same account.

But these would be different types of transfers. One would be for a student buying a course and the other would be for a student tipping a teacher

#

I also have affiliate connect accounts for when an affiliate marketer sends a referral link and someone makes a payment the affiliate marketer gets paid as well as i get a portion. I was told for that i need a separate connect account

#

Yup that's still fine.
How exactly are you collecting tips?

#

What APIs are you using to sell courses?

grave mountain
#

i am using stripe api. So have 2 connect accounts only - one for affiliates, one for teachers. You are saying I don't need 3 connect accounts? A teacher can get paid from 2 different income streams - when someone buys a course and when someone tips them?

#

tips are collected in a different form where a user says i want to tip this teacher X amount

#

I understand you're using Stripe API but which specific endpoint?

Sorry you lost me at

So have 2 connect accounts only - one for affiliates, one for teachers
When you say one for teachers - are these individual accounts or just one account for all teachers?

payment intent success webhook if that is what you mean by endpoint. When a student makes an order to buy a course forever.

#

I was told I may need more than 1 connect account to stay legal

#

A user on my site can onboard to become a teacher who sells courses or an affiliate who markets to people. Right now I have 2 stripe connect accounts being used. Now if I incorporate a tipping mechanism for teachers, can I use the same teacher stripe connect account or would i need a third stripe connect account.

PaymentIntent objects can be created by many API endpoints like Checkout, Invoices etc. You need to look into your code and share what exactly you're doing when a student tries to buy a course.

I was told I may need more than 1 connect account to stay legal
We can't help with legal/compliance stuff on discord. This isn't something my team would know anything about. So if your question was purely regarding legal/compliance standpoint then you should disregard my answer above.

My team on discord won't know anything about it. I would suggest you reach out to our support about that
