A marketplace or platform product often starts with a simple idea: help people buy from, hire, or sell to one another. As money moves between customers, your business, and the businesses or service providers you support, payments become an important part of the product.
Join the Lucknow community for an introduction to embedded payments with Stripe Connect. This session is designed for aspiring and startup founders, vibe coders, developers, and product leaders who want to understand how payments can fit into a platform or marketplace.
You don’t need a finished product or prior experience with Stripe Connect, embedded payments, or marketplaces to take part.
During the session, you’ll:
- Start with your product idea and map the payment model — understand who pays, who earns, and what role your platform or marketplace plays.
- Compare common platform and marketplace models — see how a platform that helps businesses accept payments differs from a marketplace connecting customers with sellers or service providers.
- Follow an example payment flow — explore how onboarding, payments, fund routing, payouts, and platform operations can work together.
- Explore how to get started — discover Stripe’s guidance, Interactive Platform Guide, Connect documentation, and AI-assisted approaches to help you understand the right payment model for your business.
- Learn how Stripe Connect supports embedded payments — understand how Connect can help your product manage payments and money movement as your business grows.
You’ll leave with:
- A clearer understanding of how money could move through your platform or marketplace
- A better understanding of the key questions involved in building an embedded payments experience
- Practical next steps for exploring Stripe Connect
- Resources to continue learning through Stripe’s documentation and guided tools
Bring an idea you’re working on, an existing business that needs embedded payments, or simply your curiosity.
You can follow the examples during the session, but coding experience, tool setup, and payments expertise are not required. This is a welcoming orientation and community conversation—not a technical implementation workshop.
