Stripe Connect

Learn how to route payments between multiple parties.

Connect is a powerful API and set of tools used to route payments between a business, customers, and recipients who need to get paid. It powers payments for business models like marketplaces and software platforms. Connect can be used on its own to send payouts to recipients, or alongside Stripe Payments to accept and route payments from customers.
