#TheObservantOwl212 - Destination Charges
shell maple
Why is it not recommended?

I suspect is has to do with who bears the responsibility for Stripe fees, refunds, and chargebacks vs the intended relationship between Platforms and Standard accounts
shell maple
Would you say there is a chance that standard accounts will be deprecated in the future. (It does seem unlikely since most companies I've come across use standard accounts)

These are flows that are not recommended for a variety of reasons due to how standard accounts work, the refund flows etc. If you're using Standard account we recommend direct charges.
shell maple
But direct charges are only supported in the US aren't they?
small belfry
No, what makes you say that?
shell maple
nvm. I thought you were referring to something else
Also...
How can I allow users to revoke access?

Account holders will also see the following changes to in their Stripe Dashboard:
You cannot disconnect the platform that administers your account.
What are you trying to do, overall? You seem to be bumping up against a number of things. Can you explain your use case?
shell maple
Sure.
I'm creating a service like Buymeacoffee
For a niche market
Sorry, I have a lot of questions
small belfry
OK, so in that case the account is controlled by your platform if you want Stripe to manage all the onboarding and bank info, and there is no disconnection
shell maple
So how would I implement disconnection?
Some platforms don't have the revoke access button greyed out.
And there is disconnection on my end because I can revoke access
small belfry
Generally, don't. That only applies to connecting to pre-existing accounts. If you're creating account, you don't I saw in the other thread you were using express accounts, which you can simply stop using when no longer needed.
shell maple
So how do services like Buymeacoffee allow user's to disconnect their accounts?
Same with quora and substack?
small belfry
They likely connected to pre-existing standard accounts before things changed last year
shell maple
Uh no.
Because I connected to Buymeacoffee today.
And it allows me to revoke access
See above ^^

You likely need to look into building an "Extension" then: https://stripe.com/docs/building-extensions
shell maple
OK, thanks, I'll have a look at extensions.
small belfry
NP!

We have a lot of functionality, it can cause confusion sometimes yes 🙂 We're always working on improving that
