  • Having had a cursory look through the docs about Stripe Connect, it looks like you’re not doing business directly with stripe anymore(?).

    These plugins you’re using are acting as a “Platform” in the below diagram and make API requests on your behalf with their own Stripe Secret Key and your account id [0].

    So I guess the credentials you’re sharing is “just” the auth credential for the platform which will then turn around and will make API calls to stripe on your behalf.

    The way I see it you’d have to implement the API calls yourself and ditch the whole Stripe Connect/Platform model in order to be in charge. Although this is probably not worth it for you because you’ll probably drown in PCI-DSS requirements
