Hey @hard nexus No there is no way to use Cypress to do this, at least not in a reliable way since we could change things at any point and break it

[hard nexus]

so what do you suggest? is there a way to create a test connected account, or is there a test account "acct_nnnn" that one can use that will always work?

[finite mango]

there's neither of those sorry

I'm not sure what you are "testing" so it's hard to say unfortunately

[hard nexus]

mostly credit card payments on a web based POS system

we host many merchants as connected accounts that use our system for payments

surely Stripe must have test suites that exercise purchases authorizations, refunds etc

in a connect account scenario

[finite mango]

Sure but you don't need to create a brand new account every time for that

you can create one on your platform and use that one for testing

[hard nexus]

true

we can investigate that

[finite mango]

that's what I do in mine, I have a few accounts in various state, like a rejected one, one in France, one in Japan, etc.

and I test various flows that way

[hard nexus]

thanks, I think we will do that then
