Create pricing groups

Define separate pricing schemes for different connected account groups.

You can define pricing groups to assign specific pricing schemes to multiple connected accounts simultaneously. This can save time over manually adding or updating the same fee override to each connected account individually.

You can create up to 50 groups across all pricing schemes.

Assign groups to a pricing scheme

You can define up to 50 pricing schemes per product (such as Payments or Instant Payouts) and apply each to one or more groups of eligible connected accounts. You can enable only one pricing scheme to a connected account.

To create a new schema and define a pricing group:

From the Payments tab of the Platform pricing page in your Stripe Dashboard (Settings > Connect > Platform pricing), click + Add scheme.
Select Create a new scheme or Start from an existing scheme.
Name your scheme.
Define your scheme with pricing rules, fallback rules and fee modifiers using the instructions in create a pricing scheme.
Assign a group to your scheme.
- Type a name and click + Add to create a new group. After you save the scheme, you can add accounts to your new group.
- Alternatively, click Reassign a group to choose an existing group, then click + Reassign
Click Save and enable and review the details of your schema, including its assigned groups and the number of accounts in each group. Click Confirm to submit the changes.
Click the overflow menu () of a scheme, then click Edit to make changes.

Add accounts to groups

You can add connected accounts to existing groups using the following methods:

CSV import: Takes effect immediately, but group counts in the UI take a few minutes to update.
API: Takes effect immediately.

Recent group assignment changes take up to 24 hours to reflect in CSV exports.

CSV Import

Use the Dashboard to import a CSV file defining the connected accounts to add to a group.

Copy the GroupID of the group you want to add accounts to.
Click the overflow menu () of the group’s pricing scheme, then select Add accounts.
Download the pre-configured CSV for the group (or create your own).
Populate the following two columns for each connected account to add.
- connected_account: account id of a connected account to assign to this group.
- account_group: group id of the group to add the account to.
Click Upload CSV and select your completed file.
Stripe validates the file and returns the number of connected accounts in your platform not included in the file. This helps you make sure you didn’t unintentionally omit any users.
Click Confirm to complete the import.

API

Before assigning a connected account into a pricing group, obtain the group ID (acctgrp_xxx) from the Platform Pricing page in your Dashboard.

Assign a group to an existing account

Populate the groups.payments_pricing parameter of the Update an account call with the ID of the group to assign the account to.
Expand the groups object to request the groups parameter in the response.

The response returns the connected account object with the expanded groups parameter.

Assign group to existing account response example
{
  // ...
  "groups": {
    "payments_pricing": "acctgrp_NrikrzNEvHZ4go"
  }
}

Assign a group when creating a new account

Populate the groups parameter of the Create an account call with the name and ID of the group to assign it to the account.
Alternatively, omit the groups parameter during account creation to automatically assign the account to the default group. All eligible connected accounts without a specific group designation belong to the default group.
Expand the groups object to request the groups parameter in the response.

The response returns the new connected account object with the expanded groups parameter.

Assign group during account creation response example
{
  // ...
  "groups": {
    "payments_pricing": "acctgrp_NrikrzNEvHZ4go"
  }
}

Retrieve the group of an account

Expand the groups parameter in the Accounts lookup call to see the account’s pricing group. If the payments_pricing group has a null value, the connected account has a pricing override.

The response returns the new connected account object with the expanded groups parameter.

Retrieve account group response example
{
  // ...
  "groups": {
    "payments_pricing": "acctgrp_NrikrzNEvHZ4go"
  }
}
gated=["groups"]

Unassign a pricing group from a pricing scheme

To disassociate a group and it’s connected accounts from a pricing scheme:

Click the overflow menu () of the pricing scheme, then select Edit.
In the Assign groups section, click the overflow menu () of the intended group, then select Unassign.
Click Save and Enable, then Confirm.

This doesn’t delete the pricing group with its associated connected accounts. It reassigns the pricing group to the default pricing scheme. You can still reassign the pricing group to a different scheme.

Delete a pricing group

You can delete a pricing group and reassign its connected accounts to the pricing group associated with the default pricing scheme. You can only delete a pricing group from the Dashboard.

Caution

Deleting a pricing group that you still reference in your API calls can break your integration.

Click the overflow menu () of the pricing scheme, then select Edit.
In the Assign groups section, click the overflow menu () of the intended group, then select Delete.
Click Save and Enable, then Confirm.

Any connected accounts in a deleted pricing group get reassigned to the pricing group of the default pricing scheme.

View accounts assigned to a payments pricing scheme

You can download a CSV list of connected accounts and their assigned groups for a pricing scheme. From the Platform Pricing page of your Dashboard, click the overflow menu () of the pricing scheme, then select Export accounts.

You can also download a CSV list of all connected accounts and their assigned schemes by clicking Export accounts at the top of the Platform Pricing page.
