Hi there!
If you want to have complete control over the connected account, including setting their bank account, then it's possible when using custom accounts https://stripe.com/docs/connect/custom-accounts
However note that this is the most difficult integration path, since you have to basically rebuild everything yourself.

I understand. What I want to do is create my own dashboard, and seamlessly provide a UX for the user. I did noticed I can do the verification via onboarding UI for a custom account. Will that still allow me to take full control of everything else?

Then yes you need to use custom accounts

Amazing! Thank you, thats all I wanted to know. This is perfect!
One last question, is it possible to setup a commission based system? So basically, any payment the vendor gets, we will get a commission. Is it possible to set that up with connect?
rare walrus
Absolutely! Basically when the platform creates the payment, you can define how much goes to the connected account and how much goes to the platform. Exactly how to do this depends on how you plan to accept the payment (PaymentIntent, Checkout Session, etc.)

Then you need to look at application_fee_amount https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-application_fee_amount

Perfect, thank you!!
I do have one last question. Is it possible to add a second commission. So for example, the vendor was brought in by an affiliate. Would it be possible to setup for the affiliate person to receive a commission AND us receive a commission as well?
So basically something like: payment goes to vendor, then we get the commission, and then we split that commission to a second commission for affiliate
Vendor gets 90%
Us get 10%
Affiliate gets 50% of our 10%
That kind of flow

That's also possible! But in this case you should not use application_fee_amount, and instead use separate charges and transfers, as explained here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers
