For a detailed comparison of Standard vs Express see here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
In most cases, or if you are not sure, we recommended using “Standard” option.
The “Express” option should only be used if you have done your research, and have a good reason for using it.
Some of the main differences when using Stripe Payouts with Coupon Affiliates are the following:
| Feature | Standard | Express |
|---|---|---|
| Stripe Dashboard | The affiliate user will use the full default Stripe dashboard to manage their connect account and view payments etc. | The affiliate user will use a more user friendly and lighter “express” dashboard to manage their connect account and view payments etc. |
| Fees | No additional fees. | Monthly fee per active affiliate account. |
| Limitations | Less limitations. | Limited to certain countries. |
| Account losses covered by Stripe | Yes | No |
