Hello, I will see what public docs we have on this but to answer your questions: you can connect that account to yours with our OAuth process. Their account would connect to yours like a normal standard account, their connected accounts will remain connected to their account and they will keep their normal relationship to them.

how would this affect rev share? basically our connected accounts are used on a per checkout page basis and as the platform account, we capture some fee from the revenue of our connected account

Two things to keep in mind here:
- Standard accounts can only connect to one platform at a time. If the account that wants to connect to you is already connected to another platform, instead of connecting we will clone their account and that new account (with no connected accounts) would get connected to your account.
- We don't support "grandfather connect" as in, your platform A can make calls for as connected account B, but you can't make calls as them that in turn make calls for one of their connected account C. A can make calls for B, B can make calls for C, but A can't make calls for C.

If by that you mean that you set an application fee or application fee percent on the Checkout Sessions that you create, then no, their existing connect setup shouldn't be effected by that. As with your other Checkout Sessions for other connected accounts, we automatically take the application fee that you specify out of the payments that you directly specify it on, but that doesn't affect any of their other payments.

can you clarify that last one? Lets say we are account A and normally charge 3% application fee on our connected accounts (ie account B). What happens if they connect to us and their connected accounts (account C) have a checkout session. Does the application fee set by account A trickle down and still get revshare from account C?
does that make sense? account C is the grandchild from your scenario above in #2

There is no grandchild relationship here.
You only collect application fees from charges on your Connected Accounts and similarly they would do the same for their Connected Accounts.
You would have no interaction with their Connected Accounts

ah okay! that clears it up, thank you
if they allowed it, would there be any way via api to take our potential client's connected accounts and instead connect them to us?
dreamy sentinel
No, you can't interact with their Connected Accounts at all.
They would have to connect to you separately but you can't access their information via the API.
