We currently are using "Standard" connect

Hi there
So functionally you want to provide your users with instructions to open a "standard" Stripe account, and then after they have processed x amount, you want to connect them to your platform?

The end-goal would be to allow users to start "making money" in a very frictionless way, without needing to completely finish their Stripe Connect onboarding; something like what stan.store (https://www.stan.store/) does.
The process would look something like this:
- User wants to start selling items
- Client can buy the item
- When user passes the threshold of $x, and wants to get paid off, they would need to complete the Stripe Connect onboarding
Also, as a side question:
Regarding the best practice for onboarding a person to Stripe Connect:
What is the best way to onboard a person to a country other than the US?
In the onboarding process, I left the country blank as it's not required, but that defaults to the US - and Stripe Connect doesn't appear to allow to change the country or show a country selector when starting the process.
Should I have a country dropdown picker right before the user "creates" their Stripe Account?

I think the general answer is that there is a certain amount of onboarding that is required in order to process payments on Stripe. It sounds like you are interested in something like the "incremental" onboarding approach that we describe here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/hosted-onboarding#info-to-collect
just a moment on the second question, please
Regarding onboarding connected accounts in other countries, an important consideration is cross border payouts, which are only supported for certain funds flows: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/cross-border-payouts
and they aren't supported for direct charges
