#Martin - Connect

Hi. Thanks for your response @cyan peak !

It depends on the integration
Express and Custom accounts are designed so the end-customer deals only with the platform and the platform then farms out the providing of products/services to one or more Connect Accounts
But with Standard Accounts, the end-customer interfaces with the Connect Account and maybe doesn't even know the Platform exists
Like Amazon vs Shopify

gotcha, but how do we create payment intents without our API key? only with connected account data?
do these connected accounts have their own API KEY?
cyan peak
Yup. Each Stripe account, of any type, will have API keys
First I would recommend you determine what type of Connect Integration you think makes the most sense for your use case
The table here has a good breakdown

Thanks for that. I believe we'd be aiming for standard accounts. We are following this tutorial:

👋 stepping in here as @cyan peak needs to step away. Catching up

Which I believe asumes your code is hosted by you since the onboarding and payment intents require your API key
Hi @limpid turret . Thanks for your help!

So to create requests on a Connected Account from your platform you pass the Stripe Account header: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication
This allows you to create Direct charges on your Standard Accounts (see: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges)
