hello, no Connect webhook endpoints receive events from all Connected accounts on your platform
What is the use-case here that you want to separate webhook events?
glad oyster
Basically I’m building e-commerce stores for multiple clients, each client has there own instance of my “store” and handles its own orders and payments. Wanted to use a web hook to “confirm” orders upon successful payment without having a centralised system for all payments, would just be a lot less infra strain to have each clients instance handle and confirm it’s own payments

yeah with Connect, the approach is that you have one webhook endpoint that receives all your events. So you wouldn't have multiple instances of Connect endpoints, just the one on the Platform to receive events from all Connect accts
the alternative is that you register an "Account" webhook endpoint on each account. That only receives events happening on that particular Stripe account.

How do you register an account webhook on each connected account?
noble lark
I had thought you could via the API but my colleague corrected me that you cannot
so assuming these are Standard Connect accounts, you'd have to create "Account" webhook endpoints using each of their Dashboards
glad oyster
Right - I assume this is not possible with express accounts?
noble lark
oh these are Express accounts
then no, and the right approach would be to create 1 Connect webhook endpoint only
it sounds like you're using the Direct Charges fund flow here? on the Express accounts
cause that is not the recommended fund flow for Express accounts
since they don't have a full Dashboard so cannot do account owners cannot respond to payments themsevles like refunds or disputes
glad oyster
I’ll need to double check that - they’ll defo need refund capabilities on their end
noble lark
just to clarify
what I meant is, you as a Platform can build UI to allow Express accounts to refund charges
but unlike Standard Connect accounts, Express account owners can't manage Refund/Dispute flows right from their Dashboard, they have a really limited dashboard
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts covers the differences in account types
