#Step - Elements
clear grotto
Hello! Stripe Elements only exist for sensitive details that need to be sent directly to stripe (so you can avoid a lot of PCI compliance headaches). We do not have Stripe Elements for things like cardholder name. If you want to collect that information you would do so with your own regular HTML input elements and pass that information along when using Stripe.js. See the code snippet here for an example: https://stripe.com/docs/js/payment_intents/confirm_card_payment

It's not really a question of wanting to collect that information. How do you guys even charge the card without cardholders name?
What happens if someone tries to fraud us? Or what happens when someone disputes the charges? How is everything handled without a cardholders name?
clear grotto
The cardholder name is not required by the card networks to charge a card. Providing it does help reduce fraud and is recommended, but not required.

Okay, understood. Do you guys have any developers that could help us with our project, by any chance?
clear grotto
While we're happy to help answer your questions here and via support Stripe does not provide developers to help you build your project. We do have many certified third-party developers, agencies, and consultants that can help you build your Stripe integration listed in our partner gallery though: https://stripe.com/partners/expert-services
There are also hundreds of verified Stripe partners who have created many off-the-shelf solutions (apps, services, plugins, extensions, etc.) to help your business get started or do more with Stripe: https://stripe.com/partners/apps-and-extensions

We're looking to connect our partners with our products. So that they can sell our services as their own
Are there any pre-built apps for this?
an app that uses Stripe Connect
a type of a marketplace

There may be, I recommend looking through the links I shared above. 🙂

👋 @clear grotto has to step away soon, but I can help! What's your question?
karmic tendon
Hi there
So we created an environment/checkout page, where our connected partners can sell our products to their end users
The checkout process uses our stripe account, then once payment is complete, it directly and automatically transfers our partner's commission to their stripe account
the question is: How can our PARTNER send out the invoices if the checkout is using our stripe?
or is there a workaround?
cold minnow
It would be on you (as the platform) to create and send the Invoice out - given that the payment is being created on the platform, the partner shouldn't be separately creating their own invoices to represent the same payments
karmic tendon
But the entire goal is to whitelabel this payment process so that our partners clients think they are buying from the partners
Can the partners charge the entirety of the payment and then send us a commission instead? That way they handle all the invoices?
cold minnow
You can still create the Invoices on your own account, but have them reflect the information/branding of your partner accounts using on_behalf_of (https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/create#create_invoice-on_behalf_of)
karmic tendon
So partner receives money, then split 80% to us. Something like that
cold minnow
Also taking a step back for a moment - what kinds of connect accounts are you working with? express? standard?
karmic tendon
Ahh I see. That's better. Would our brand be visible with this approach?
Standard. I think
cold minnow
If you're using Standard accounts, the recommendation is for the payments and invoices to be created on the partner accounts (i.e. Direct Charges https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges). Creating the payments on the Platform (destination charges) is somethign we only recommend if you're using Express/Custom accounts
karmic tendon
So, in order for our partners to invoice the clients themselves, instead of us, what do you recommend? Using standard accounts? or using "on behalf of" technic?
Also, do you have an article that explains the differences between the standard, express and other type of Connect accounts?
