Hi there, you can connect the accounts through OAuth (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts)
However, it's not a recommended anymore, you shall create new standard accounts and connect them through API (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts)

i can't use this for testing purpose?
modern inlet
You still can, it's just that using OAuth is way more complicated.
Stripe Dashboard is still using OAuth flow when you create a standard account through Dashboard, I'd suggest you to use API to create the account and account_link to get started with Connect (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts).

using api, i can connect two separate test accounts (with different email)?
modern inlet
Yes you can. Please follow the guide that I sent earlier to create two accounts and connect them.
shy grove
what i would like to achieve is that, if I successfully connect my platform (email1) to standard account (email2), i'll be able to clone customer with payment method from the platform to the connected account and able to manage/view/perform charge the cloned customer from email2's own dashboard
is this possible?
modern inlet
Yes that's possible
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect#cloning-payment-methods this is how you clone a payment method from platform to a connected account
shy grove
awesome! thanks a lot 🙂
followup question, how will i know if i successfully connected two separate test accounts?
other than showing on your platform's connected accounts list
modern inlet
https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/list#list_accounts you can also call the list accounts API to see the list of accounts that are connected to your platform.
shy grove
will the email2's account id will show in platforms connected accounts list?
modern inlet
Yes you are right
shy grove
great! thanks 🙂
