Which parameter indicates you want the connected account to be used as merchant of record?

• A. destination
• B. amount
• C. on_behalf_of
• D. currency

Answer: (C)

The key idea is how Stripe Connect designates who is the merchant of record for a charge. Setting the on_behalf_of field to the connected account’s ID tells Stripe to process and attribute the charge on behalf of that account, making that connected account the merchant of record. This affects reporting, tax handling, refunds, and which account is primarily responsible for the transaction. The other options don’t specify who the merchant of record is: amount and currency define the transaction’s value, and destination controls where funds are sent in a destination charge, but not who is the merchant of record.
