Hello! Can you show me a specific example?

[cobalt grove]

sure!

{
    "id": "btok_1LTU9kFAWKEWQzfqSh76zLoa",
    "object": "token",
    "bank_account": {
        "id": "ba_1LTU9kFAWKEWQzfqHEehLr1f",
        "object": "bank_account",
        "account_holder_name": null,
        "account_holder_type": null,
        "account_type": null,
        "bank_name": "STRIPE TEST BANK",
        "country": "US",
        "currency": "usd",
        "last4": "6789",
        "name": null,
        "routing_number": "110000000",
        "status": "new"
    },
    "client_ip": "137.25.183.43",
    "created": 1659719872,
    "livemode": false,
    "type": "bank_account",
    "used": false
}

here is the test bank account generated by financial sessions

then I call

await stripe.accounts.update(account, {
  external_account: 'btok_1LTU9kFAWKEWQzfqSh76zLoa',
});

but when I look in external accounts for this customer

Type
Bank account
Created
8/5/22, 10:19 AM
Origin
United States
Fingerprint
u40haMXnymaRirnm

ID
ba_1LTUAy2XKGhxupIzZ6rWADQS

id is ba_1LTUAy2XKGhxupIzZ6rWADQS, not ba_1LTU9kFAWKEWQzfqHEehLr1f

is this typical?

we also store this bank information in our database, so id can be reference too update or delete this external account if needed

but it says the external account does not exist for id we have stored, because it is indeed different

[weary mauve]

Yeah I believe that change is expected - when you're creating the token (and the underlying Bank account) those objects are on the Platform. When you add them to an account (as an external account) we need to create a Bank Account object on the connected account instead, which has a different ID

[cobalt grove]

ok so how can anyone retrieve the id of that external account

to delete it

ah

using

const bankAccount = await stripe.accounts.retrieveExternalAccount(
  'acct_1GndK7FAWKEWQzfq',
  'ba_1LTUDRFAWKEWQzfqfPuzG1BX' <---- id I have stored
);

[weary mauve]

👍 Yeah you need to retrieve it as an external account for the connected account

[cobalt grove]

sometimes a break from this is all it takes 😄

thank you

[weary mauve]

happy to help 🙂

[cobalt grove]

ugh, its still not working retrieveExternalAccount requires actual id of external account

I have no idea how to store that id because its available nowhere except stripe

[weary mauve]

Can't you store the ID of the Bank Account that is generated after you call await stripe.accounts.update()?

[cobalt grove]

I see the ID in the response 😭

thank you so much

[weary mauve]

👍 perfect!
