Learn about different account setups that you can add to an organisation.
Organizations support the following account setups: multiple standalone accounts, platforms, and connected accounts.
Multiple standalone accounts![](https://b.stripecdn.com/docs-statics-srv/assets/fcc3a1c24df6fcffface6110ca4963de.svg)
It’s common to manage multiple Stripe accounts that represent different business lines, countries of operation, legal entities, and acquisitions.

Multiple standalone accounts representing different business lines.
After you add these accounts to an organisation, you can search and download consolidated reports across your accounts without any changes to your Stripe integration. After you create an organisation, you can add new business lines or add existing accounts.

If you have several platform accounts that correspond to different countries of operation or business lines, you can add them to an organisation.

Multiple standalone platform accounts representing different business lines, each with connected accounts.
After you add your platforms to an organisation, you can search for connected accounts under all your platforms, as well as data within each platform account.

Multiple connected accounts under a Connect platform![](https://b.stripecdn.com/docs-statics-srv/assets/fcc3a1c24df6fcffface6110ca4963de.svg)
In certain cases, you might own multiple connected accounts under a platform. This commonly occurs in franchise groups where several franchises are under common ownership.

Even though your connected accounts are under a platform, you can still add them to an organisation. This allows you to use the unified search and reporting across your accounts.

Multiple business lines represented as connected accounts![](https://b.stripecdn.com/docs-statics-srv/assets/fcc3a1c24df6fcffface6110ca4963de.svg)
In some cases, you might have represented different business lines as connected accounts under one platform account, even though your business isn’t a traditional platform or marketplace. This is common if you want to consolidate payment integrations or clone payment methods stored in the platform to connected accounts.

A platform account and multiple connected accounts, each representing different business lines.
You can create an organisation that encompasses the platform account and connected accounts so that your team can benefit from unified search and reporting across all the accounts, without impacting your payment integrations.
