With Stripe Connect, your users have to have Stripe accounts. This makes sense for, say, Squarespace, where their users are likely to want to manage the business themselves: logging in to their Stripe account, watching their analytics, providing refunds, handling customer service, etc.
This is designed for cases like paying Lyft drivers. The drivers don't really care about the internals; they just want money to appear in their bank account.
