Which Stripe API enables a business to build a payments platform that routes money from end customers to multiple businesses?

• A. Entitlements
• B. Connect
• C. Invoices
• D. Payments

Answer: (B)

Routing money to multiple businesses is what Stripe Connect is built for. It powers marketplaces and platforms by letting you onboard multiple sellers and handle funds flow between customers and those sellers. With Connect, you can accept a single payment from a customer and distribute funds to various connected accounts, optionally taking a platform fee. It supports different onboarding experiences for connected accounts (Standard, Express, or Custom) and manages the necessary compliance and payout logistics. The main payment flows involve charging a customer and routing the proceeds to a connected account (with optional application fees) or using direct charges paired with transfers to connected accounts. In short, Connect provides the multi-party routing and payout capabilities that the other features do not address.
