With Connect, you can create Stripe accounts for your users. To do this, you’ll first need to register your platform.

If you’ve already collected information for your connected accounts, you can prefill that information when creating the account. Connect Onboarding won’t ask for the prefilled information during account onboarding. You can prefill any information on the account.
