Stripe Connect: your events payments gateway
The payment system for event payments is built on Stripe’s Connect product which enables software platforms and marketplaces to process payments on behalf of clients.
The process works as follows:
- The client sets up a “connected account” - this is a Stripe Express account, a lightweight Stripe account to receive payments from the Pluss platform and is connected to a bank account to which payouts are made.
- They can then create paid events and the users can register their credit cards and make payments for the events on their app.
- Payments are processed through the Pluss platform and the payments are transferred to the client’s connected account with fees charged by the platform.
- Accumulated payments in the connected account are then paid out to the designated bank account at a set schedule.

Setting up a connected account
Pluss Communities creates a lightweight Stripe account (aka “Express Account”) for a site so payments can be processed by the Pluss platform and paid out to the client’s bank account.
