Does this require people who want to be paid to sign up for accounts on stripe? Or can the application initiate bank transfers to the seller, on behalf of the buyer or from escrow.

You have two options: you can have sellers link a Stripe account (and we'll do all the downstream work, like collecting their bank account info and verifying their identity). Or you can create a managed account via API, where the seller does everything from within your app and never needs to go to Stripe.

Also of note:

Setting up managed accounts, including international accounts, ID verification, and 1099-Ks, costs just 0.5% of funds paid out.

Transfers to standalone accounts are free.

Update: Works for me when I log out of Stripe. Nevermind.

The managed account page appears to be down: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/managed-accounts
