Stripe Platform Accounts

Violet integrates Stripe Payments and Stripe Connect to streamline payment orchestration, enabling:

Charging shoppers
Onboarding merchants
Managing transfers in complex payment scenarios

To give you full control and visibility, you must onboard your own Stripe Standard account to Violet. This ensures direct access to all Stripe-provided data, including payments, transfers, merchant accounts, and configurations. The account you onboard is referred to as your Stripe Platform account.

Merchant Onboarding & Account Control

When a merchant connects to your system and sets up a payout account, they create a Stripe Connect account, which links to your Stripe Platform account. As the account owner, you can:

Manage payout schedules
Customize platform branding during onboarding
Oversee compliance via the Stripe dashboard

Operations Managed by Violet

Once your Stripe Platform account is connected, Violet can directly handle:

Merchant onboarding (Violet Connect)
Checkout processing
Payments, transfers, and payouts
Refunds & transfer reversals

Country-Specific Restrictions

Violet’s capabilities depend on Stripe’s country-specific regulations, affecting payment processing, transfers, and merchant onboarding. For details, refer to Stripe Documentation or contact Stripe Support.

Connect Account Onboarding

Non-US based Stripe platforms can only currently onboard payout accounts in the same country as their Platform account. This is due to cross-border banking restrictions enforced by Stripe for non-US platform accounts. As Stripe builds out additional support for international platforms, Violet will make relevant updates to increase functionality.

Payment Capture

The following currencies are supported for Payment Capture by Violet for non-US based platform accounts: https://docs.stripe.com/currencies. You can select your specific country to see which currencies your shoppers can be charged in.

Transfers

Non-US Platform accounts are restricted by Stripe to transfers within the same country. Violet is currently limited by the same restrictions. To pay out funds to international merchants, Violet recommends a custom relationship with the merchant and to process direct Bank Transfers. This is a manual process and operates independent of Violet.
