A webhook endpoint created with connect set to true receives events from every connected account on the platform, and those events carry a top-level account field holding the acct_ ID the event belongs to. Endpoints that are not Connect endpoints receive only the platform's own events and never populate that field. A handler shared between both kinds that ignores it will attribute a connected account's payment_intent.succeeded to the platform and credit the wrong merchant.

Confirm by inspecting event.account on a Connect endpoint payload. Branch on its presence, and when it is set, make every follow-up API call with the connected-account request option so the object IDs inside the event resolve against the right account instead of returning a not-found error.
