Easy setup for sellers and contractors
Use Connect to spin up accounts and enable payments for your sellers, vendors, contractors, or fleet—with as much custom control over the experience as you’d like.
-
Lightweight setup
Connect your platform to thousands of existing Stripe sellers, or create new accounts with just an email address. We only need more details when it’s time to deposit funds.
-
Custom flows for sellers
Alternatively, you can have sellers provide payment info in your app, and you manage their accounts entirely via the API. Stripe stays out of the way.
-
Secure bank transfers
Sellers can connect to your platform via OAuth, or you can collect their bank account details securely with Stripe.js—sensitive data never hits your servers.
Feature-packed payments
Connect is tightly integrated with the rest of Stripe—everything you need to let customers pay for purchases from around the world, either online or in mobile apps.
-
APIs for every business model
You can process subscriptions, store multiple cards per customer, enable one-tap payments and Apple Pay, and much more.
-
The best checkout for buyers
Long checkout pages should be long gone. Checkout and Stripe.js let customers buy securely in a few taps.
-
Local currencies
Increase conversions and let sellers accept payments in 100+ currencies—even Bitcoin. Sellers receive their earnings in their local currency.
-
Custom statement descriptors
No more inscrutable credit card charges for customers. You can customize the text on card statements on a per-seller (and per-charge) basis.
Go international
Connect lets your platform support sellers in any of the countries where Stripe is available.
-
International seller verification
Paying sellers involves observing different laws in each country. Share simple details about your recipients and we’ll help them get paid.
-
Optimized for everywhere
Behind a unified API, Stripe uses local currencies, local bank networks, and local identity verification to help you deliver the best product—everywhere.
Flexible transfers
Connect lets your platform customize complex flows that span multiple customers, sellers, and anyone else who needs to get paid as part of your business.
-
Fully customize payout timing New
Let Stripe automate transfers to sellers or customize payment schedules. And you can give sellers true flexibility and control over when earnings are deposited with instant payouts.
-
Route funds as they come in
Your platform’s accounting just got much easier. You can now link a charge with a recipient as it comes in, and Stripe can help handle everything downstream.
