👋 Hi there, Happy to help!
Actually when onboarding customer, you create an account link and you redirect your user to that link in order to complete his information and create his account (including their login/password)
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts#create-link

but what if I want to give a separate dashboard login to vendors

?

[unique hull]

Sorry for my late reply

[green silo]

Can you share API page link

[unique hull]

Yes of course, here is the API page doc link:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/account_links

[unique hull]

Once the connected account completed their onboarding, they'll have access to a seperate Dashboard (the Express Dashboard):
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts#:~:text=User can access the Dashboard%3F

[green silo]

but when I am creating the express account than there is no field for passowrd

than how can I login?

?

[mental axle]

in the onboarding flow it asks for a phone number, and then when the user wants to login we can send them a text to that number.

e.g. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-dashboard#self-serve-access

Your users can also access the Express Dashboard by signing in directly to Stripe Express. They must complete Two-Step authentication to view their Express Dashboard.

First, they must sign into Stripe Express with their connected account email. Then, Stripe sends a SMS verification code to the mobile number your platform used to create their Express Account. Your users must enter the SMS verification code to access their Express Dashboard.

if you're creating AccountLinks directly then you are doing the authentication, not Stripe. You need to make sure you create the AccountLink for the correct account for the user.

I am not clear on this one

Otherwise I am good

[mental axle]

no worries, what can I clarify there?

[green silo]

I am not with " AccountLinks directly then you are doing the authentication, not Stripe. "

[mental axle]

so you said :

I want to give a separate dashboard login to vendors
That means that what happen is :

• a user visits "mssind.com" or whatever your website is
• the user logs in to their account on your system with whatever authentication system you have for your vendors
• they view a "mssind dashboard". On that dashboard you might have a button/link to "view your Stripe payouts" etc
• if a user presses that button, you call https://stripe.com/docs/api/account_links and pass the Account ID acct_xxx of the Stripe account that corresponds to the logged-in user of your system.

[green silo]

ok

so you mean

I can give a direct stripe account link to my vendors

?

So all the authentication will be handled by API's, right?

[mental axle]

you can direct them to https://express.stripe.com if you like yes, then they can log in via the process described at https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-dashboard#self-serve-access

[mental axle]

there's no API involved in ^^ that process.

[green silo]

ok

So far clear

but getting one issue

I created one vendor account with complete test data

and 100% verified

but when I try to do the sign in

with url

https://connect.stripe.com/express_login

I am getting error with email

[mental axle]

This option is only available for livemode Express accounts. For testing, please create a login link instead.

[green silo]

ok

created one link

https://connect.stripe.com/express/oauth/authorize?redirect_uri=https://connect.stripe.com/hosted/oauth&client_id=ca_Bu58qBWnUE47flcvhEzhVCtguFdUyn2h&state=onbrd_MT0KsbaZv7K9iYM6fl8Bi3Av9e&stripe_user[country]=US

but when I try to open it

the email field is disabled

[mental axle]

That's the link for creating a new account, not logging into an existing one. I don't know what you did.

if you read the link I posted(three times now):
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-dashboard#self-serve-access

For testing, please create a login link instead.
"login link" redirects to https://stripe.com/docs/connect/integrate-express-dashboard , and https://stripe.com/docs/api/account/create_login_link is the API you call to get a link to access the dashboard of the connected account.

[green silo]

okay

clear

now

and one thing more

phone number is used

once can be used with other vendors also?

[mental axle]

as in, does the phone number have to be unique across all your Express accounts? I don't know. I don't think so.

[green silo]

ok
