Hi there
South Africa is not supported on Stripe
However, it is supported via Paystack: https://paystack.com/stripe/south-africa
But you would need a Paystack account and that is a separate integration.

Hello Bismarck. With a paystack integration are we able to process stripe connect commissions? or is this totally separate from stripe?
vast mortar
Totally separate.
novel vigil
what can we do if we dont want to do a separate paystack integration?
novel vigil
yes. we are US and Canada based
vast mortar
I forgot that South Africa is supported via Cross Border Payouts: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/cross-border-payouts
So if your platform is going to be the Merchant of Record then you could onboard your Connected Account with a recipient Terms of Service agreement and take advantage of Cross Border Payouts to support them.

oh great. that should work for our purposes. how do i get started with this recipient onboarding?
vast mortar
You remove card_payments from your requested capabilities and you use tos_acceptance.service_agreement: 'recipient': https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/create?api-version=2025-09-30.preview#create_account-tos_acceptance-service_agreement

okay thank you so much. one question, we already have some code that we use to transfer commissions to the right connected account. will this bit of code have to change afterwards too?
vast mortar
No it should not unless you are using on_behalf_of
As long as you use Destination Charges or Separate Charges & Transfers then there isn't really any change other than how you onboard the Connected Account.
Mostly I recommend testing this out in test mode
novel vigil
awesome. Thank you so much. i will take a look at the documents and if i have any more questions i will reach out. thank you so much
vast mortar
Sure thing
