gotcha. so, if I was implementing a platform using Stripe Connect, would I need my users to convert their account into a special thing, or would they sign up through my platform?

#

based on my understanding from having implemented Stripe Connect before - several years ago - the latter was the case

#

wondering if I've misunderstood something heavily, or if things have changed over the course of the years

#

It would depend on whether they already had Stripe accounts they wanted to connect to your platform and what relationship you wanted to have with them.

#

We break this out pretty nicely here:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts

Choose your account type

Learn more about the different types of Stripe accounts you can use with Connect.

#

yes, exactly. the wording in the docs are "you must create an account"

#

implying that this is something I, as a marketplace, would do or facilitate for my users

#

I'll read up on it a bit more. thank you for the help, even if it was slightly off-topic.

#

unless they had an existing Stripe account, in which you would likely connect to them using the Standard account approach

#

that matches my understanding perfectly

#

if they had an existing Stripe account, there would be no action they themselves could take to convert it into a "Stripe Connected Account" then - this would be facilitated by me through my platform

#

From what I have seen they would provide their account ID to you and you would generate an onboarding process by creating an Account Link for them.
