Did you explicitly set the country to Egypt during the connected account creation? https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/create?api-version=2025-08-27.basil#create_account-country
If country is not set, the country will be set to your platform country

is this also for stripe-hosted onboarding? i see you sent me the API link
and will this enable global payouts and rsa agreement for egyptian/not "supported" stripe customers/businesses?
quiet socket
Oh wait! Are you using account v2? Which documentation are you following for your integration? Can you share the doc link?

https://docs.stripe.com/connect/hosted-onboarding
Using this haha -- i dont entirely know the difference between stripe hosted onboarding and embedded onboarding
all i know is that my goal is to onboard egyptian users such that they can pay and receive money through our app
also, do you know how I can specifically see the KYC questions asked for specific countries e.g. Egypt? I know their KYC progress for individuals/businesses is different from the US just want to be able to see the exact questions asked

Thanks for sharing! The doc you shared is not meant for Global Payout. This is called Connect and meant for for marketplace / platform integration that holds a balance on Account v1. You can find their comparisons here: https://docs.stripe.com/global-payouts/compare-with-connect#compare-global-payouts-and-connect-payouts
For Global Payout, this is the integration guide. Global Payout should use Account v2: https://docs.stripe.com/global-payouts/stripe-hosted-recipient-creation
Could you share what you're trying to achieve?
signal canopy
Ohhh I see. What I'm trying to achieve is to make a marketplace for egyptian people so people can buy and sell goods. Do they need to be verified with this KYC process https://docs.stripe.com/acceptable-verification-documents?country=EG&document-type=identity
(it says passport required) to be able to accept and pay money? Or how does this work -- can they just pay money and receive money without needing to go through this onboarding, is it only if they're a registered business?
quiet socket
In this case, I'd recommend using Connect Payout instead of Global Payout.
To create a Egypt connected account, you'd need to set the country parameter to EG during the account creation in Step 2 of the doc you shared: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/hosted-onboarding#create-account
Any connected account is required to complete KYC onboarding in order to accept payment and receive payout
The connected account holder can be an individual or a company
signal canopy
ok and any chance I can see the specific KYC or questions thats required for egypt or seeing the onboarding process (other than manually doing it and testing it rn)
quiet socket
You can create an Egyptian connected account and use hosted onboarding link to go through the onboarding process. I'm afraid there is no other way

No problem! Happy to help 😄

No problem! Happy to help 😄
oops 2 more questions riverman my bad
https://stripe.com/connect/pricing
the 'onboarding, verification' costs here for egypt -- is this per account/kyc?
quiet socket
This channel is for developer and technical integration question. For pricing related questions, I'd recommend checking with Stripe Support https://support.stripe.com/contact as we don't have necessary expertise
signal canopy
ah ok. if someone was to jsut do payments (pay only, not receive money) do they then need to do kyc?
quiet socket
If you're referring to the connected account accepting the payments, then they still need to go through onboarding / KYC
If you're referring to the customer making the payments to your platform, then the customer doesn't need to KYC
signal canopy
ok thank u
