If a user hasn't completed the onboarding, you can create a new account link with type=account_onboarding

#

type=account_update is only for custom connected account which completed onboarding process and would like to update account details

#

okay, maybe let's consider a scenario like this:

my app creates a new stripe account for a user
user performs and completes onboarding
user then goes into their stripe dashboard, and deauthorizes my platform
user now wants to "reconnect/reauthorize" my platform
🤔 should my platform create an account_onboarding accountLink, or an account_update accountLink? is this the right way to think about this?

#

and how can i detect when the reauthorization has happened? perhaps a webhook like account.updated?

#

for context,
we're trying to figure out a better way to approach stripe connect for our integration -- perhaps to allow users to swap stripe accounts -- and reconnect to accounts that had been previously been disconnected.

How do you create a connected account currently?

remote nimbus Oct 17, 2022, 2:24 AM

#

using the node sdk, we call stripe.accounts.create,
then we generate an accountLink type=account_onboarding for that new account.

#

they're standard accounts.

#

I see! In this flow, connected account can't be deauthorised themselves in the dashboard

#

Since their connected account was created and managed by your platform

#

oh, very interesting -- this might be fantastic news 😄

#

so, we don't have to listen for account.application.deauthorized webhook?

#

and we don't have to think about reconnecting/reauthorizing at all?

#

account.application.deauthorized is for legacy flow where an existing Stripe account would like to connect to a platform, then deauthorise. This is no longer recommended

remote nimbus and we don't have to think about reconnecting/reauthorizing at all?

Yup, you're right with your current integration

#
