Sorry for the delayed response. This does look interesting. Would you be able to explain the potential use case a bit more?

Hello! Sure! One of the most popular example of using "managed account” on Stripe is Marketplace. Marketplace is “online shop” where anyone can become a vendor. But if these vendors want to see something and receive money for theirs goods via Stripe - they have to make their own Stripe account. But this way may be difficult for each one because they have to prepare a lot of documents and manage this accounts. But, if owner of Marketplace will have “Managed account” option - he can create “sub account” for each vendor on that Marketplace via just one API request. And if someone sell something - money will send to “Main” Stripe account (to Marketplace owner) and will “freeze” until transfer/delivery/etc not approved. As soon as Marketplace will approve this order/money transfer/devliery - Marketplace make one more API request and money from “Main” Stripe account go to “Vendors sub account”. So cons of this way: - Control money transfer until delivery/approve/etc - Simple way for vendors who don’t want make his own fully-featured Stripe account - Auto (or controlled) payout for each vendor It just one example of using “Managed accounts” by Stripe With regards, Sergey

This feature would probably need to be tied to another vendor's module providing a multiple sellers feature. I didn't see any open source, but I didn't look very hard. If you know of one please pass it along and I'll take a look. I don't have motivation to add support for a paid module and most of the paid options I saw offer the Stripe integration as an upsell, so I doubt the vendor would provide a copy for developing a free alternative.

Closing for now. This is not currently on the feature roadmap.
