Stripe Connect Integration

What is it?

Stripe Connect enables platforms to facilitate payments between multiple parties - allowing TalentBlocks to process payments from clients to freelancers while automatically collecting platform fees.

Why we need it

• Automated fee collection - Capture platform commission on every transaction without manual processing

• Compliance handled - Stripe manages KYC, identity verification, and tax reporting

• Scalability - Support growing transaction volume without building payment infrastructure

Key features to implement

• Express Accounts - Quick onboarding for talent providers with Stripe handling verification

• Payment splitting - Automatic routing of funds to providers while collecting platform fees

• Integrated dashboard - Transaction monitoring and reporting within TalentBlocks

This positions TalentBlocks as a payment facilitator without the complexity of building our own payment infrastructure.
