Which Stripe Connect account type provides the most control for advanced platforms with custom billing needs?

The Custom account type in Stripe Connect is designed specifically for advanced platforms that require a high level of control over their payment processing workflows and user experiences. This option allows platforms to fully tailor the onboarding process, user interface, and billing functionalities according to their unique requirements. Custom accounts give developers the flexibility to build specific features and functionality that meet their business needs, including the ability to define how charges and payouts are managed, as well as customizing the look and feel of the payment flows.

In contrast, the Standard and Express account types offer less flexibility and control. Standard accounts provide a straightforward, out-of-the-box experience where users manage their own settings within the Stripe dashboard. Express accounts provide more functionality than Standard but still maintain limitations in customization. The Custom account's advanced capabilities make it the optimal choice for platforms that need to create complex billing solutions or have particular compliance requirements that cannot be met by the other account types.
