What type of Connect account should a Canadian company use to expand into new markets without changing their integration?

A Standard Account is designed for businesses that want a simple way to integrate with Stripe while providing a user-friendly experience for their customers. When a Canadian company seeks to expand into new markets without altering their existing integration, a Standard Account offers a robust solution.

With a Standard Account, users benefit from Stripe's handling of compliance, reporting, and KYC (Know Your Customer) requirements, making it easier to operate across multiple regions without needing significant adaptations to the existing setup. Moreover, this account type enables businesses to efficiently leverage Stripe's extensive tools and support designed for various markets while minimizing the complexities associated with cross-border transactions.

In contrast, a Custom Account involves more detailed control and flexibility but requires more effort on the integration side, which may not be suitable for a company looking to maintain its current integration. An Express Account provides some level of customization but doesn't offer the same ease of use for businesses entering new markets quickly, as it often requires more setup than a Standard Account. Therefore, for a Canadian company expanding internationally with a focus on simplicity and ease of integration, a Standard Account is the best fit.
