#Steamedeel - C2C
jade blade
Hey. I developed a marketplace. Multiple buyers. Multiple sellers. I’d like to integrate stripe as a payment method where the buyer can purchase directly from the seller- rather then the buyer paying me (the business) and me having to payout the sellers.

So in that case your application would need to create Stripe Accounts for each seller. And if you were going to be processing payments on their behalf that sounds like a Connect scenario

Yes the platform would have to create accounts for each seller. The platform is not involved between the sellers and buyers. We don’t plan to process payments on their behalf. Each seller will be responsible for their own payments and processing. So I would just need to have the sellers sign up and create a stripe account upon sign up?

So they are going to be writing the code to integrate and process payments on their own?
jade blade
Oh no. We would be writing the code. We would need to have each seller create an account with stripe. Think of eBay. That’s basically what we developed in layman’s. So buyer X would buy from seller Y. And seller Y gets payment directly from buyer X. My developer was looking at the stripe website and only saw a C2B integration. And not a C2C. But seems that we would need to have each seller create a stripe account?

Well you can create and onboard the account for each seller. This is exactly a Stripe Connect situation. I recommend you read the docs very thoroughly because we have a number of different options you can configure depending on your use case.

Okay perfect. Thanks for your help!
Stripe is supported globally? If I have international buyers/sellers?

Thanks sirs!
kindred summit
sure thing! do you have any follow up questions or do you think we can archive this thread for now as you have a lot of information to digest?
jade blade
Just one more question. For global. Only payouts are possible or direct payments are possible as well. As the link you sent I only see re payouts
kindred summit
the link I sent is only payouts. Basically you, as the platform, aggregte all the funds yourself and you "pay out" to the seller in those countries
based on your business model that you described it wouldn't work for you. But I shared as sometimes the business model is flexible 🙂
jade blade
Thanks for that! Would C2C be possible for global clientele? Or only payouts (for international buyers/sellers)
kindred summit
I don't know what that sentence means unfortunately
jade blade
C2C meaning customer to customer. Direct payment. C2B (customer to business) are payouts.
