Payment Flow - Seller Bank Account Info / Money Balance

Hi everyone - Recently started setting up the platform and we’ve added Stripe. I noticed that a seller can’t sell /receive money for an item unless he/she has inputted his/her bank account info. Any way to change that flow?

We want the seller to be able to list their item and have that item sell without him/her having to fill out their bank account info. Instead I’d like to have the funds in a balance/wallet (e.g. Venmo) on the platform. Then when that seller wants that money, they can withdraw later on from their balance.

Has anyone tried this? Thanks!

Hi JC!

You could indeed build such payment flow however this would require quite a lot of changes to the code as the Stripe integration now uses Connect Custom accounts exactly to make sure that money doesn’t go through the marketplace owners. So you’d have to implement another Stripe flow.

One thing to keep in mind: if you (the marketplace admin) collect money, this is usually quite regulated in most countries. So you may want to check if this is legal and easily doable if you are first before building such feature :wink:
