Hey! Yep it's true, authorisation lengths vary between card network. Equally, it'll also depend on the MCC of your platform/business
It's generally longer for hotels/accommodation, etc

Thanks for the quick reply.
Since, I am using Stripe Connect and will allow other independent merchants to register and collect payments from users all within the platform. The platform's or Connect account's MCC dictates the authorization lengths?

That depends, what kind of connected accounts are you using?
peak sage
Connected accounts will be mostly hotels and restaurants.

Are they standard? Express? Custom? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
And what kind of charges would you be using? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges#types

This depends on the above 🙂

We are implementing Express account type.

So you'll be using destination charges I guess
peak sage
yes, destination charges. Let me confirm first.
Okay, we are implementing the destination charges in our code too.

In that case, the platform would be deemed the merchant of record (unless passing on_behalf_of parameter)
