Stripe on_behalf_of parameter

Need help APIs
1

Hi folks,

Does anyone have experience of using Stripe’s on_behalf_of parameter? Because of the nature of my marketplace for services with buyers and sellers located globally, I need to use Stripe Connect Express with the on_behalf_of parameter. I initially intended to implement destination charging, but found that I would need to set up an entity in every country where I have sellers (!!) in order to process the required cross-border payments. I called Stripe, and they told me that the on_behalf_of parameter is designed to address this.

This is how I have set things up in the API Connector:

I am unsure what value needs to go in the box that I have redacted. If anyone could guide me on that, and on whether my setup looks right or wrong other than that, I’ll be hugely appreciative!

No, but maybe a dumb question… Does Stripe handle all the tax charges using this feature.
EG: Buyer located in the UK buying from seller in the US, vs buyer in US buying from seller in the US - and all the Federal, State, and sometimes Municipal taxes?

It is your connect customer’s Seller ID. I maybe wrong, you could also try creating a Direct Charge.
