Heads up, another broken link. On this page: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/connecting-to-accounts#manag... There's a link to learn more about managed accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/managed-accounts Which just shows "An unexpected error occurred" http://cl.ly/image/3V2k333n0d32

Sorry about that! Should be fixed now.

Thanks!

I mean god damn stripe has some great front-end engineers.

Whenever I see one of their products, I always think "if it's that good on the outside, imagine how good it is on the inside".

I applaud your enthusiasm, but... seriously?

Kudos for the great explanation here: https://stripe.com/docs/recipes/on-demand-app However I still have one question: is it possible to delay payments to service providers? In other words to do escrow. Here is our use case: a client books a service (maybe with 30 days in advance), we need to charge the client at that time, but we won't pay the service provider until 24 hours after the service has been provided (so t…

Yes: "You can control the transfer schedule for your recipients, which should effectively cover what you need to do. (Sorry this isn't clearer in the docs.) Feel free to email us, too. I'm patrick@stripe.com."

I was waiting for half an hour thinking that image will change and tell me something more. Then I figured out that I can scroll down. Stupid me.

Then it occurred to me that we do the same thing on our home page: we have animation which makes people (stupid like me) wait a little thinking that we will tell them more info - even that info is available only if you scroll down. Stupid me x 2.

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.

Is there any plan to offer some kind of in-between option where the seller links their stripe account, but the application is "sandboxed" in a way that prevents the user for creating, updating and deleting resources like cards, customers,etc? I like the idea of users linking their own accounts, and Stripe taking control of the identity verification, etc, but I don't like keeping all my data in sync with stripe via web hooks.

I was just looking at Connect a few days ago and had one issue - the fact that the customer account needed to bear the fees. Very happy to see the option for the platform account to bear the fees. Much simpler for the customer to understand!

So the blog post on connect says "Managed Accounts" are available to anywhere that stripe is supported. However, on the docs, it says that it can only be used in the US and Canada. Which one is it?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Some tradeoffs though; this is what it looks like on IE9 http://i.imgur.com/EkH81zN.png

Stripe's product is for developers. I highly doubt there are developers using IE9. It's an audience Stripe can comfortably choose to ignore.

Whilst that sounds logically. You're replying to someone on HN, who is presumably a developer and detected this bug in IE9.
