heya @wet dragon! you'd probably want to start off here : https://stripe.com/docs/connect
Those PMS that you're referring to are probably using Connect

Hi Alex! Yes, I've been reading up on how to onboard our users' accounts to our Stripe Connect. What I can't find in particular is how to link multiple Stripe accounts on a per property/listing level, once they are already onboarded.
I guess it would be like linking different or multiple Stripe accounts per product. Could you be able to lead me to any doc that's for achieving something like that? 🙏

#

could you maybe give me an example - something like Company_1 has Hotel_A and Hotel_B and they created Stripe accounts for each hotel? That'd help me to better understand the problem

#

Sure! 🙂

#

The example you gave is actually very close.

#

Put into our context

#

Our PMS is used by short-term rental property managers (PM). I'll describe the ideal user experience we're thinking of giving them. 🙂
A PM, with three properties (Properties A, B, and C) onboards one or more stripe accounts to our platform via Connect to be able to collect payments from their guests directly (not via the booking channels).
Once onboarded, the PM can decide what properties the stripe account will be linked to.

ah okay, i think i understand now - the summary is, you'd need to implement that logic.

The PM can create as many Stripe accounts as they want - they'd need different email addresses though, something like PM+something1@email.com, PM+somthing2@email.com. For example, a PM may only want to take in payments for Property_A on Stripe_account_A. You would design your site to allow the PM to choose that all payments from property_A would be collected via Stripe_account_A, and implement the backend logic accordingly as well

#

each Stripe account has a unique account id so that's how you'd identify where the payment would go to using one of the Connect fund flows : https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges

#

Ahhh we'll utilize the unique account id to set-up the logic. Gotcha!

#

Thanks for bringing clarity to this for me, Alex!!! Thanks for bearing with my noob-grade q's haha

#

yep, as an example using direct charges. you can see you're supposed to pass in the Stripe account id in the highlighted portion

#

no worries, Connect is complex, feel free to reach out if you have any other questions!
