Connected accounts that leverage the Stripe Dashboard automatically have access to Billing and Invoicing features. Platforms can also send invoices from their accounts.

For connected accounts without Stripe Dashboard access, the platform can send an invoice from their account and pay out the funds received to the connected account. See Subscriptions with Connect and Invoices with Connect in the Stripe Docs for more information.

Make invoices appear to be sent from the connected account

When platforms send invoices for their connected accounts using destination charges, the platform is the settlement merchant by default.

However, platforms can pass the on_behalf_of parameter when creating or updating one-off invoices to make the connected account the settlement merchant.

The connected account’s information will be used for on_behalf_of invoices created by the platform. You can expect to see the connected account’s information in the following areas:

• Statement Descriptor
• Invoice emails/PDFs
• Hosted Invoice Page
• Invoice receipts/PDFs
• Credit note emails/PDFs
• Email reply-to
• Support and contact information

The on_behalf_of parameter can only be set via the API before the invoice is finalized. See Using on_behalf_of in the Stripe Docs for more information.
