The Organization Accounts area is where you can view, manage, and add all accounts within your organization, providing a centralized place to manage different Stripe accounts and structures across a single organization.
Supported account types
Vanilla supports three account types in the Organization Accounts area:
Stripe Connect platform account
Stripe Connect connected account
Standalone Stripe account
This setup is useful for organizations that manage multiple businesses, locations, or account structures under one umbrella.
What you can do from Organization Accounts
From the Organization Accounts area, Organization Admins can:
View account information
Enable product catalogs
Add new accounts
Edit existing accounts
Manage products and subscriptions
Manage discounts
Manage stores
Configure account restrictions
Review and update an account’s Business Settings
Review and update an account’s Brand Settings
Open an account directly in Stripe
Select an account from the account list to view its details and available management tabs.
Adding a new account
You can add any of the supported account types directly from the Organization Accounts area.
Add a Stripe Connect platform account
Choose this option when you need to create a Stripe Connect platform account under your organization.
When adding a platform account, you will provide:
Support email
Stripe account ID
Stripe public key
Stripe private key
Tipping setting
Connect onboarding type
Company name
Optional business URL
Please note: Vanilla supports both Express and Standard Stripe Connect onboarding when adding a platform account.
Add a standalone Stripe account
Choose this option when you need to add a Stripe account that operates independently and is not part of a Stripe Connect platform structure.
When adding a standalone Stripe account, you will provide:
Support email
Stripe account ID
Stripe public key
Stripe private key
Tipping setting
Company name
Optional business URL
Add a connected account
Choose this option when you need to add a Stripe Connect connected account under an existing platform account.
To begin adding a connected account, you will provide:
Company name
Business URL
Connected accounts also require additional administrator details as part of setup, including:
First name
Last name
Email address
Phone number
Please note: Connected accounts require additional onboarding steps beyond the initial account setup.
Important requirement for connected accounts
A connected account must belong to a Stripe Connect platform account that already exists in your Vanilla organization.
This means the platform account must be added first before connected accounts can be created.
Managing an Account
When you select an account, additional tabs are available for managing that account.
Account Information
View and update information associated with the selected account.
Account Restrictions
Account Restrictions allow an Organization Admin to control which product-management actions can be performed by users working within the account.
Depending on the organization’s configuration, restrictions may include:
Allow creation of products
Allow duplication of products
Allow creation of subscriptions
Allow creation of discounts
Disabling an action removes that capability from the selected account. Organization Admins can continue managing organization-controlled content from the organization level.
Please Note: Account Restrictions control account-level actions. They are separate from user roles and individual user permissions.
Business Settings
The Business Settings tab allows an Organization Admin to review and manage the selected account’s business configuration without switching into the account.
Brand Settings
The Brand Settings tab allows an Organization Admin to review and manage the selected account’s brand configuration without switching into the account.
Summary
The Organization Accounts area provides a single place to manage multiple Stripe accounts and account types within Vanilla.
Whether your organization uses a Stripe Connect platform model, connected accounts, or standalone Stripe accounts, this page makes it easier to manage account setup, related configuration, and direct access to Stripe.
