i mean create connect account with API and setup as standard to reduce cost of payout
i am creating application for service providing where client and provider are there like upwork ..?
Yes you can use API to create standard accounts
so, why we use custom account ..?
i dont want to let user to interact with account ..?
is that possible ..?
There are three types of connected accounts, standard, express and custom. Make sure you go through this doc https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts to decide which account type works best for your business.
yes, there is the option that User can access the Dashboard?
i dont want user to let acces this dashboard on stripe ..?
please suggest.
The custom account doesn't have access to Stripe
acct_1LKbGpAO7DIqwy8x this is my id
of platform account
can i create connect account with API here via providing credit/debit card from my application ..?
I don't understand why you want to provide a credit card when creating a connected account.
Is it about instant payout?
when i want to create connect then i need to attach card with where he can receive amount(card or bank account) ..?
Ah I see, that's for payout, and it only accept debit card (instant payout) and bank account, it doesn't accept credit card.
https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create?lang=python#create_account-external_account you can use API to attach a payout debit card/bank account to a connected account
i want to create application like Upwork (marketplace)
where i have clients and provider
i want to become a intermediator and hold client's payment and then send amount tot provider.
what kind of connects or accounts is helpful for me ..?
If you don't want the connected account to access the Dashboard, the only option here is custom account.
what that mean ..?
i want to access everything in stripe but i dont want to allow to access client or provider their stripe account ..?
i want to create their connect from application and add card/bank account with from my application only
so can use their ID for all charge or transfer
from API
As a platform you can still access the Dashboard. but the custom accounts that connected to your platform can't.
thats fine if connect account is custom, what if connect is standard ..?
do i can same thing with that ..?
??
A standard account has full Dashboard access.
what that mean full dashboard..?
do my connect user is able to access or not ..?
i got this error "You cannot create Standard connected accounts with capabilities via API"
Standard account have full access. it's covered in the doc that I sent earlier https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts#choosing-approach
Regarding the error, Can you share the request ID (req_xxx)? Here's how you can find it: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
Find help and support for Stripe. Our support center provides answers on all types of situations, including account information, charges and refunds, and subscriptions information. Get your questions answered and find international support for Stripe.
Or can you share with me your merchant ID? you can find it from the Stripe Dashboard -> Settings ->Account Details
You can't use transfer capability in standard account https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-capabilities#transfers
so, only way is have a custom connects only, right ..?
Based on my understanding of your business, you should use custom account https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts#custom-accounts
yes, but my concern is there is huge charge charged by stripe in custom accounts.
Do you have any other technical questions? My shift is ending, if you want to continue I can ask my colleague to take over this thread.
