Stripe Connect charge types

In this episode, you'll learn how Connect charge types work and which one to choose for our platform project. You’ll learn the differences between direct charges, desination Charges, and separate charges and transfers, three ways of handling charge flows on platforms.

The platform we're building in this series allows creators to produce creative content (e.g., a newsletter), publish their content, and monetize their content with paid subscriptions.

This is episode 09 in the series. Stay tuned and subscribe for updates throughout the summer. We'll cover all the ins and outs of Stripe Connect, how you need to model and store things in your database, how to handle authentication, how to process web hooks and post-payment events in your Stripe account, how to onboard creators, how to use Stripe Checkout on the front end to securely accept payment, how to setup the Stripe Customer Portal to allow subscribers to manage their payments and subscriptions.
