Using plaid with Stripe

I am trying to build an eCommerce site using Stripe and Plaid to do ACH payment and I am new to both. Is Plaid's role mainly to collect the payment and verify the information? Do I use Plaid in the payout process as well? Thank you!

Solution

  • Plaid handles collecting and verifying information about the customer. Stripe handles the actual ACH transfer part. Plaid is not involved in the payout process. For more info you can check out the docs:
