Stripe Connect is a specific Stripe product designed for platforms and marketplaces to accept money and pay out to third parties. For example, a platform like Shopify uses Stripe Connect to process payments for the thousands of individual stores on its platform. While powerful, it is generally not a product that a typical user of the Charge for Stripe app would interact with directly.
