Which country is your account and which country is your Connected Account?

#

The account is for USA. Also, I am not sure what you mean by "which country is your Connected Account?"

#

I have not yet created a connected account. Actually the client I am developing this for has asked me how this can be built

#

and as this is my first time developing a payout system, I want more guidance on this from you.

#

What is the process of creating a connect account and is it something I should do as the developer or should I ask my client to do it as the owner? And can I do anything before the connect account is created?

#

Okie, so first I know a feature which can allow you to send money to a recipient, which is simpler than creating a Connected Account for them

#

https://docs.stripe.com/global-payouts

Global Payouts

Send payouts to customers, affiliates, contractors, or other third parties.

#

Otherwise, you will need to create a full-fledge Connected Account for them, which you can start at https://docs.stripe.com/connect/how-connect-works

How Connect works

Learn how Connect's features support multiparty integrations.

Thanks Orakaro! I have been going through this documentation and it seems helpful.

However, in the global payouts documentation, it says I must give the business info for the recipient? What if they have no business (which is going to be the case for most of my recipients.

Do you mean the type of business?

#

You can provide individual to it

Hmm I see. That makes sense!

#

I think you said that I will have to create a connected account for the people I want to give payments to (If I go down the connected account path / approach).

Can't the reciepient create their own connected account themselves? Or maybe I am understanding this wrong...

nocturne swan Jun 2, 2025, 7:29 AM

#

Actually it creates a "lightweight" version of Connected Account under the hood

#

Just the API and the UI is re-designed to be simpler

gaunt needle Jun 2, 2025, 7:46 AM

#

hmmm let me take some more time to read this documentation please
