💳 Why does Stripe create a new business account when integrated with Tixtree?

Stripe is a powerful payment processor that simplifies managing transactions for businesses worldwide. However, Stripe enforces a Single Platform Connection Policy that affects how users can integrate their Stripe account with third-party platforms like Tixtree.

What is Stripe's Single Platform Connection Policy?

Stripe allows users to connect their account to only one platform at a time via OAuth (the authentication method that enables third-party integrations). This means that if your Stripe account is already connected to another platform (e.g., an e-commerce site or another ticketing service), you cannot simultaneously connect it to Tixtree and a New business account will be created under your existing Stripe login.

Why does Stripe enforce this policy?

The policy ensures clarity and security for transaction management. Each connected platform has access to certain aspects of your Stripe account, such as payment processing and refund functionality. Limiting connections to a single platform minimizes the risk of overlapping access or potential errors.
