Hi 👋 yes it can

broken tusk Nov 3, 2021, 1:00 PM

#

could you provide me with steps to do so please

#

? 🙏

#

There's quite a bit to that. Are you stuck at a particular point? What steps have you made it through so far?

#

I haven't started at all

#

can we test it with the same account ? or do we need to create a seperate account

#

?

#

Ah, sounds like you already have an account, so that is the first step completed 😄

#

You will need to create a new account, but you should through this via the connect flows. That diagram is of a destination charge, does that mean you're considering using Express/Custom connect accounts?

I have no idea, We are running a ticketing platform.

If a ticket is £10 we charge a commission of %10 + 20p = £11.20

£10 goes to the host and 1.20 comes to us. We just need a payout system that can process that

#

and we want to test that payout system

Completely understand, and based on your scenario it does sound like destination charges are what you want. This article speaks to the different options a bit more though in case you want to take a closer look at your options.
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges

To test this flow you'll need to:

Have a stripe account to use as the platform
Create and onboard a connected account (I think Express will be easiest for your testing)
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts
Create the destination charge as instructed in the article you grabbed that image from

Then you should be able to see the results of that flow in the two accounts.

okay so we will need a second stripe account ?

#

the platform account and the connected account can't be the same stripe account for test mode ?

#

Yes, you'll need a second account. No, you shouldn't use the same account as both the platform and connected account (I think we put checks in place to block this).

#

Can i create that second account within my current one or do i need to sign up all over again ?

Neither, you'll need to follow the steps in the document that I linked below Step 2 in my previous message.
