Hello 👋
Not sure I quite understand, can you expand a bit more here?

devout gate Oct 24, 2022, 2:15 PM

#

hey

#

we're using standard connect

#

and we want to fetch the enabled methods within the connected account programmatically so we can surface in our platform

slate sail Oct 24, 2022, 2:16 PM

#

Gotcha. You can use Capabilities API for that
https://stripe.com/docs/api/capabilities/list

devout gate Oct 24, 2022, 2:20 PM

#

where can we find the methods?

slate sail Oct 24, 2022, 2:21 PM

#

The enabled payment methods are part of the enabled capabilities on that account

#

thanks !

slate sail Oct 24, 2022, 2:22 PM

#

NP! 🙂 Happy to help

#

sorry my colleague is telling me that; The capabilities are not the same as payment methods configured in connected account. They don’t match. E.g. if the payment method is blocked for connected account it still may be active in capabilities just cos all the required settings is done. For standard accounts almost all the payment methods are active in capabilities.

#

is there some reliable way of getting enabled methods on the connected account ?

slate sail Oct 24, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

This is the only way as far as I know.

devout gate Oct 24, 2022, 2:31 PM

#

ok so the capabilities API is inaccurate?

#

and it may show configured but not active methods?

slate sail Oct 24, 2022, 2:32 PM

#

Can you clarify what you mean by

if the payment method is blocked for connected account
how exactly are they blocked

devout gate Oct 24, 2022, 2:33 PM

#

disabled

#

any confirmation on this pls?

slate sail Oct 24, 2022, 2:48 PM

#

If you allow your connected accounts to manage their payment methods from their dashboard then yes, it is possible for them to configure payment methods. However, my understanding is that if its blocked then they shouldn't be able to activate it.

devout gate Oct 24, 2022, 2:49 PM

#

so you're saying that if we block the connected accounts to manage methods, then the capabilities api will return only active methods on the connected account?

slate sail Oct 24, 2022, 2:51 PM

#

I believe so.

devout gate Oct 24, 2022, 3:09 PM

#

again can we get confirmation please?

slate sail Oct 24, 2022, 3:21 PM

#

I'm highly certain that that's the case.
I'd recommend reaching out to our support team to be 100% certain as they're experts on capabilities and connect account setups
