stripe-connect

Provides a simple api for working with the Stripe Connect API. As it currently stands, this class only deals with Standard (Standalone) accounts and direct charges.

• create customers
• load all of the saved cards for a customer
• save card for customer
• delete card for customer
• connect a new Connect account to the platform
• disconnect a new Connect account to the platform
• create a refund for a charge
• create a charge for a saved card
• create a charge for a new card

A Standard Stripe account is a conventional Stripe account controlled directly by the account holder (i.e., your platform’s user). A user with a Standard account has a relationship with Stripe, is able to log in to the Dashboard, can process charges on their own, and can disconnect their account from your platform.

Creating direct charges on the connected account is particularly appropriate for platforms that enable e-commerce for its users. An end customer is purchasing from an individual business, not the platform, and the business can easily see their own sales in their Stripe Dashboard.

Using this direct charge approach:

• The connected account is responsible for the cost of the Stripe fees, refunds, and chargebacks
• The payment itself appears as a charge in the connected account, not in your platform account
• Charges directly increase the connected account’s balance

• Your platform’s balance is only increased via application fees

It would be worth familiarising oneself with the oauth workflow for standard accounts.
