Introduction — Why Stripe Connect Is the Standard for Marketplaces

When indie developers and startups build multi-vendor marketplaces — platforms connecting multiple sellers and buyers — payment complexity becomes the single biggest bottleneck. Automatically distributing revenue to vendors, collecting platform fees, controlling payout timing, and complying with money transmission regulations are all prohibitively complex to implement from scratch.

Stripe Connect solves all of this. Combined with Antigravity, you get AI-assisted code completion, test generation, and error debugging while building a production-quality marketplace payment system efficiently.


1. Choosing the Right Connect Account Type

Three Account Types

Standard Accounts

  • Vendors manage their own Stripe dashboard
  • Stripe handles KYC directly
  • Easiest to implement, but limited UX customization
  • Best for: developer tools, B2B SaaS payment integrations

Express Accounts

  • Stripe-hosted onboarding UI
  • Vendors get limited access to a Stripe dashboard
  • Stripe handles KYC; platform is largely hands-off
  • Best balance for most marketplace use cases

Custom Accounts

  • Platform controls all UI/UX
  • Platform is responsible for KYC and compliance
  • Highest implementation cost
  • Best for: financial institutions, large enterprise platforms

This guide focuses on Express accounts.
