Stripe connect for B2C
My Saas involves customers paying service providers, and it (Saas) takes a % fee off of it, and the business gets the funds after the service is completed. Stripe Connect seems to be what will do the job. Does OpenSaas have it implemented somewhat? Or do I do it from scratch as per the Stripe docs/tutorials?

Hi @Kynetix. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
----------------------
Based on the knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information about Stripe Connect implementation for marketplace or platform business models (where customers pay service providers and the platform takes a fee) in OpenSaaS.
The knowledge sources mainly discuss:
1. Standard Stripe integration for subscriptions and one-time payments
2. Issues with Stripe webhooks and testing
3. Credit balance systems
4. Tax configuration in Stripe
OpenSaaS does have Stripe integration implemented, but it appears to be focused on direct business-to-consumer payments rather than the marketplace model you're describing with Stripe Connect. The implementation in OpenSaaS seems to handle:
- Subscription payments
- One-time payments (for credits)
- Webhook handling
For your specific use case of implementing Stripe Connect where customers pay service providers with your platform taking a percentage, you would likely need to implement this from scratch following Stripe's documentation for Connect. The current OpenSaaS implementation could serve as a starting point for understanding how to integrate Stripe with Wasp, but you'd need to extend it significantly for the Connect functionality.
I recommend checking the OpenSaaS documentation on Stripe testing to understand the basic integration pattern, then following Stripe's own documentation for implementing Connect.

Sorry @Kynetix, I seem to be having a bit of trouble. Don't worry though, I've pinged my support and they will try to fix me up! :technologist:
Perhaps try again in 15mins?
OpenSaas has built-in code to connect with Stripe for charging your customers, but as I understand Stripe Connect is a different kind of things altogether, so yep, I think you'll need to implement it yourself!
