No you can't do this in the Dashboard, you need to write code for this https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts

thanks koopajah

if you are still here, I would have another question: we already process payments for existing Stripe merchants on our platform. We are in the process of registering our Stripe account as a Connect platform, after which we will want for these existing Stripe merchants to connect to our Connect Platform. My question is, whether the existing PaymentObjects of the non-Connect processing will be available under the Connect Standard processing?
spring igloo
I'm sorry I don't understand what "PaymentObjects of the non-Connect processing " means and what "under the Connect Standard processing" could mean either
crimson falcon
essentially tokens for repeat payment
so we are already processing payments of existing Stripe merchants, which go through our infrastructure. Will these existing previous payment tokens be available for future payments under the connected account processing?
spring igloo
I'm sorry, those words are really confusing
You mean Customers and saved payment methods like their Card or their PaymentMethods?
crimson falcon
yes
spring igloo
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/payment-methods/connect is what you'll want to use
crimson falcon
ok thanks
we already create Customer and save PaymentMethods under current flow. Our platform only acts as a passthrough for all the Stripe merchant payments, so these are processed using under each of the Stripe merchant account
correct me if I'm reading the docs incorrectly but this would mean that stored PaymentMethods stored with current processing would be available once the Stripe merchants connect to our Connect Platform right?
if it helps we are PCI Level 1 certified and have our own payment page so we are not planning to use Stripe Checkout or Payment Element
spring igloo
I'm sorry I have no clue what you are describing
How would your platform "act as a passthrough" if those accounts aren't connected to your already
I'm struggling to grasp what any of this means for now
crimson falcon
we do have the details of each Stripe merchants' account. The merchants' customers are loaded onto our payment page which then processes the card details through the respective Stripe merchant accounts
in order to for our platform to get revenue-shares from Stripe we were told to register ourselves as a Connect Platform with Stripe and then connect each individual Strip merchant accounts (our clients) to our new Stripe Connect Platform for the revenue-share to start working
spring igloo
ah okay so you currently have the API keys of all those accounts and you create Customers, PaymentMethods and payments in general in the right account. And now you are going to connect all those accounts to your platform.
In that case nothing changes as long as the right accounts get connected. You have full API access on those accounts and can use all the existing Customers and such
crimson falcon
yes we have API access for each merchant accounts
cool
I guess then we only need to code the "connectivity" part to connect these Stripe merchant accounts to our Stripe Connect Platform using OAuth as you instructed?
spring igloo
yes
crimson falcon
cool thank you for the help!
spring igloo
sure thing, sorry for all the back and forth!
