# Connected Accounts

If you use Stripe [Connect](https://docs.stripe.com/connect.md), you can issue requests on behalf of your [connected accounts](https://docs.stripe.com/connect/accounts.md). To act as a connected account, include a `Stripe-Account` header containing the connected account ID, which typically starts with the `acct_` prefix.

The connected account ID is set per-request. Methods on the returned object reuse the same account ID.
