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.

United Kingdom (UK) Platform Accounts
Connect Account Onboarding
United Kingdom (UK) based Stripe platforms can only onboard payout accounts for merchants that belong to the European Economic Area (EEA). This is due to banking restrictions enforced by Stripe to account for Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) regulations. 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 UK-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
UK-based Platform accounts are restricted by Stripe to transfers within the European Economic Area (EEA). Violet is currently limited by the same restrictions. To pay out funds to merchants that fall outside this region, Violet recommends a custom relationship with the merchant and to process direct Bank Transfers. This is a manual process and operates independent of Violet.
