Hi 👋

This is both a very specific and broad question so it's difficult to narrow down

deft raft
#

Sorry I could only fit so much in the box haha

past python
#

But I think what you could do is use Stripe Connect with Direct Charges so that the Connected Accounts are the ones who are responsible for the funds and chargebacks etc.

#

It's a general SaaS kind of approach.

deft raft
#

Okay thank you, I'll read up on Direct Charges but it does seem possible with Connect + Terminal. Just wanted to make sure before I build it and get bit

past python
#

You can configure your integration to help your users create Terminal Hardware Orders and register their Terminal devices. Then your integration could use the Server driven integration to make API requests on behalf of the Connected Account.

#

You don't have to handle the hardware ordering part, I just wanted to show some of the options you have just using the APIs.

deft raft
#

Wait sorry if this is stupid, a hardware order as in the store owner ordering the Terminal itself for their store? Or is that the terminoligy you use for a customer that pays on an in store terminal?

past python
#

No I do mean the Stripe Account holder ordering the physiscal Terminal device. You can do that through the API too

deft raft
#

Wow hahaha okay didn't know that

past python
#

But it's up to you how "full service" you want to build out this software of yours

deft raft
#

That's a good tip, hopefully when its all said and done it'll be like a "manage your store out of the box for x amount of dollars" so facilitating buying the hardware for them might help.

#

Since you're just getting started, it might make sense to prototype a more basic integration.

#

Get a basic proof of concept working with an existing reader like a Wise POS E or S700 (these two support server-driven integrations)

deft raft
#

integrate with Stripe?

past python
#

Yeah sorry. So what I mean is, let's say you have a physical reader device for a Connected Account you created yourself (for testing purposes), and you create the methods in your software to create a Payment Intent and trigger card collection using the reader

#

Just so you can test a basic create/confirm payment flow using your software

deft raft
#

Okay yeah that's a good idea

Perfect!! I think you answered my initial question so thank you! I just want my software to take the terminal transactions and pass them along to the users Stripe account, then I'll update the inventory and sales stuff, probably with webhooks. But I don't want my app to touch ANYTHING with the store's bank or money

past python
#

Yeah so that is using Direct Charges and you'd want to use Standard Accounts for the Connect Accounts. That gives them full control over their Stripe account.

deft raft
#

Perfect, thank you so much!!

Happy to help 🙂 It's why we're here.
