Yes you should still connect them with the account links
And the other accounts you have been connecting have been Standard accounts I assume?
rough fable
This is our first time using stripe
slim heath
Understood, I wasn't sure what the connections to your account looked like already.
But yes you will need to go through the full onboarding process, any questions on how to do that at the moment?
rough fable
Since they already have an account, I assume we will skip the step 2.1 in this document(https://stripe.com/docs/connect/enable-payment-acceptance-guide?platform=web#web-create-account-link) and create account link using the account id of their existing account. I think this makes sense but thought I will confirm as that will be helpful.
slim heath
Correct, you can skip 2.1 because they already have their account
chilly gulch
You can not connect to their existing accoun
we usually recommend creating a brand new account just for your platform for this business
rough fable
What are the differences in those two approaches?
chilly gulch
It's not really about differences, it's just the right way to do this. Create a brand new account for them so that it's connected to your platform and has all your transactions. The end user will have 2 separate Stripe accounts in that world
rough fable
Oh so they will log into a different account then and see all the transactions on that account.
chilly gulch
yes, though they can share the email and see 2 accounts in the Dashboard
