With that said, I am third party online travel agency that is working with TUI Musement (https://api-docs.musement.com/docs) to supply tours & activities to my users.
however, the traditional business model in tis sector would be that me as the retail would receive a booking commission from TUI Musement the mont after the users booking
this business model does not attract me and we are looking to challenge this status quo by taking these booking comissions and redistributing them to the users of our platform to sustainable organizations aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
so, the way that we would make money would be by partnering with brands to instead of buying ads and disrupting users experience on our platform (like tripadvisor) we would design a way for brands to sponsor experiences (tours & activities) with their ad budgets so that our paid subscribers can book these brand sponsored experiences with the brands virtual credit card
....I believe the way to execute this would be to build sign up website for brands to provide us their banking details (information needed for stripe to create/issue a virtual credit card) and they make this virtual credit card available for our paid subscribers at check out of the experience (tours & activities) that the brand is sponsoring

Does this make sense?
😬
i think this would be where and how we can execute this, by putting the virtual credit card here for the paid subscribers to pay with the brands virtual credit?
A lot to take in here! let me catch up
Sure, you can use Issuing with Connect. However currently it's only supported with Custom connected accounts
I guess Nomade is the Stripe Platform in this case, and the brands are the connected accounts
Looks good to me! Worth noting that with custom Connect accounts there is considerably more work: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/custom-accounts
"considerable more work"
?
lol
that sounds scary
what is the type of profile of a developer that i would need to execute this strategy
we are using react native
and thinking of aws amplify for backend
It's the Connect that has the most difficult integration path yes
We have a multitude of libraries for both client and server, depending on what developer(s) you hire: https://stripe.com/docs/libraries
React Native too: https://github.com/stripe/stripe-react-native
any suggestions on the developer that i should hire to execute this
are you available to work with me?
or know a colleague directly working or in the past worked with stripe
I don't! But we have a partners directory that may be useful: https://stripe.com/partners/expert-services
