hello! I don't think it's possible to skip all the onboarding details when you're creating a standard account. You should be able to use test data listed here if you're using Account Links though : https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing

i've been reading and re-reading this page -- i can't figure out how to make use of this information -- it tells me to provide a development client_id -- but my connect integration doesn't seem to call for any such client_id?

granite spire
#

you can ignore the client_id - the client_id is only relevant if you're using OAuth

#

^ above is the connect link generated by the stripe node sdk, via accountLinks.create

#

💡 however, in the dashboard, i can create an account link that produces a window that looks like this:

#

there's this amazing "skip this form" button -- i'm hoping to get access to that button from the API/programmatic route of creating a standard account?

#

there're two ways to connect a Connected account, one is via OAuth and another is using Account Links. If you use the Dashboard, the link generated is via OAuth

#

we don't recommend that you use OAuth (unless you want read only access)

#

okay, my application is using account links. how should i proceed to create a test account in that case?

okay, should i use a throwaway email service? (the first prompt is an email address, the docs page doesn't have any instruction for a fake email to use?)

granite spire
#

it's entirely up to you if you want to use a throwaway email service

#

it'll ask you for a phone number later though, and you should provide a real one since it's going to send you an sms

hot crag
#

okay, i think i understand -- i was mostly thrown off by seeing the "skip this form" in the oath context --

#

so i'll basically use a new throwaway email each time i run a new test.

#

thanks for your help, i really appreciate it 🙏
