Hi there. What can we help you with?

Hi there! I have a question regarding Stripe Connect.

Currently I am able to do the following:

await stripe.accounts.create
await stripe.accountLinks.create

The issue is, I really dont want the user to have to do so many extra steps (For example, like verifying their phone number). I already asked them to verify their phone number in the previous part of the registration flow.

I tried looking at this document: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/required-updates/accounts-arguments#individual-arguments

I put in the "personal_phone_number" field but I still have to type in my phone and verify

Accounts API Argument Changes

This page maps old Accounts API arguments to the new argument names.

I think you should be able to pass data when you create the account: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create

I do

#

Look

#

Like individual.phone or company.phone depending on whether the account is an individual or company

dense briar Sep 23, 2022, 7:19 PM

#

#

Im using the old API thats why I use 'legal_entity'. "individual" throws an error

#

Oh ok. I still think we require the account holder to verify the phone number though. If you pass other details, i don't think it will require you to put them in twice. That being said, this is a bit outside my area of expertise. We generally recommend you go to support: https://support.stripe.com for account verification questions

That link will definitely not give me an engineer lol.

#

You cant be serious

#

You just gave me a basic support link as if I email them it wont take them weeks to understand my issue

#

😆

#

What about email? Which field do I input so that my customer doesnt have to enter their email again?

#

What API version are you on?

Ok so just discussed this with some colleagues. There's no way to prefill the email and phone collected on the initial page of hosted onboarding

#

Those we require to be collected there

#

The bits we allow you to prefill are some of the verification fields (of which email and phone sometimes are required): https://stripe.com/docs/connect/required-verification-information#US-full-individual--card_payments|transfers

Whats the different between card_payments

#

I need only transfers

#

Like I need to only send money to my customers bank

#

Thats it

candid iris Sep 23, 2022, 7:57 PM

#

Yeah so by default the assumption is the Connect account will need to process payments (hence the card_payments capability). We have a separate approval process that you will have to go to support for if you want Connect accounts to be able to request the transfers capability (what you want) without the card payments capability. That being said, it doesn't harm anything to have the card_payments capability too even if you aren't using it

dense briar Sep 23, 2022, 7:58 PM

#

My current connect accounts

#

Only have this capability

#

#

This isnt the first time I used stripe

#

In Legacy API (when it was just the link, not the API call), it was transfers only

#

I dont need card_payments
