Stripe Connect

Stripe Connect is infrastructure for building marketplaces where multiple vendors sell through one platform. It automates seller onboarding with identity verification, manages separate seller accounts, splits transactions between platform and vendor, and automates payouts to each seller's bank account. The system also handles tax compliance, dispute management, and financial reporting per vendor.

Better suited for developers and no-code builders using tools like Zapier or Make to wire up multi-vendor shops than for creators seeking a finished marketplace. It's powerful but requires custom implementation or a marketplace builder on top of it. If you're building a platform and need battle-tested payment splitting and seller management at scale, Stripe Connect is the industry standard.
