#

meaning a single individual who is the account representative for multiple different connected accounts?

timber stump Nov 14, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

Yes

bleak dust Nov 14, 2021, 3:56 PM

#

there unfortunately isn't a good way to do this

#

you'd need to onboard the different connected accounts independently, just with the same representative details

#

The idea of this is that I have the same details for more companies, so I will have to check the identity of the person multiple times (including ID validation) ..

bleak dust Nov 14, 2021, 3:58 PM

#

yeah

#

unless you save the details on your side & reuse them, there's no way to get around this

#

representatives cannot be directly shared between two different accounts

#

Even if i save the details in my app, id validation check will be done multiple times 😦

#

yeah, there's unfortunately no way around this

#

ooc, why is this a common case for your platform?

timber stump Nov 14, 2021, 4:06 PM

#

My platform is for doctors

#

The same doctor can offer services as individual or as company

#

When a doctor firstly join my app, I create for him/her an individual connect custom account

#

After that, he/she can add multiple companies

#

And I want to find a way to associate this companies with the individual account

bleak dust Nov 14, 2021, 4:08 PM

#

I guess it's just unusual that the same doctor would be incorporated multiple times

#

are these different companies that the same doctor is contracting for, or has the doctor themselves actually incorporated multiple separate companies that they're each, separately providing services through?

timber stump Nov 14, 2021, 4:09 PM

#

Both cases actually

#

when Stripe reports the income to the IRS, who should the taxable income be reported to?

#

I'm not a lawyer / tax professional / etc, but it feels very very weird to me that the doctor is (presumably) getting paid for sales attributed to a company they contract for

timber stump Nov 14, 2021, 4:14 PM

#

taxable income depends on the company the doctor provides the service

#

Thank you for your answer! I will implement the solution you told: reuse persons info

bleak dust Nov 14, 2021, 4:15 PM

#

your platform is paying the company, not the doctor, tbc?

timber stump Nov 14, 2021, 4:15 PM

#

if the service is provided by the company, my app is paying the company

bleak dust Nov 14, 2021, 4:15 PM

#

got it

timber stump Nov 14, 2021, 4:16 PM

#

if the service is provided by the individual, my app is paying the individual

#

that's why I need multiple separated accounts, but somehow related one to another

bleak dust Nov 14, 2021, 4:18 PM

#

ok, but if the doctor is potentially just a contractor, they can't always be a representative for the company
