Adds support for Express connected accounts v1 with Stripe-owned pricing and negative balance liability Public preview
What’s new
Express connected accounts now support two new configurations. This unblocks a previously unsupported combination of existing controller parameters:
- fees[payer] set to account . Previously, this was blocked for Express accounts.
- losses[payments] set to stripe . Previously, this was limited to private preview.
When you set fees[payer] to account, you must also set losses[payments] to stripe.
Impact
Pricing ownership: You can now set fees[payer] to account so that we apply standard pricing automatically. Your platform doesn’t need to configure fees or collect payments from connected accounts.
Loss liability: You can now set losses[payments] to stripe so that we absorb negative balances. Your platform has no financial liability if a connected account can’t cover a refund or chargeback.
See Create an account for implementation details.
