Frequently asked
Express, Standard, or Custom Connect?+
Express for fastest seller onboarding (Stripe-hosted KYC). Custom for full UX control and brand experience (you handle KYC questions). Standard for sellers who want their own Stripe account.
How do you handle escrow and delayed payouts?+
Funds held in your platform's Stripe balance, released to sellers on order confirmation or after a return window. Manual payout schedules for compliance-heavy categories.
What about international sellers?+
Stripe Connect supports 45+ countries. KYC requirements vary by country; I configure compliance flows based on where your sellers operate.
