👋 Thanks for reaching out
No you can do tests without activating the process by simulating
You can refer to this link for more details:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing

I am on that page. However, I don't see how to skip the activation process?
Nvm, there is a little note about standard accounts. They require real information 😦
shell flume
Even for standard Accounts you can create a test account:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts#create-account
I'm not seeing what is the block sorry
Did you activate the test mode in your dashboard, there is a toggle on the top-right corner
final roost
The block is there is lots of info I need to fill in.
Yes
Test mode activated
I need to connect my bank account to it etc.
I just want to test my stripe connect setup works. i.e money goes to the vendor not me.
To clarify I have created a test stripe connect account (standard).
I need to activate it without providing all the info required.
shell flume
You need to provide all the info required in order to activate the account, in the link I shared above there is couple of value you can use in order to simulate the validation of your test connect account:
For example: here some tokens you can use in order to trigger a certain verifications:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing#identity-and-address-verification
You can set these bank number in order to test payouts:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing#account-numbers
What info you are missing in order to complete the verification of your test account ?
final roost
sort code and account number
I just entered the test info and it said known test info cannot be used in live mode.
shell flume
That's mean that your connect account was creating using your live mode private key and not the test mode one
could you please share the account_id, to confirm this ?
final roost
Sure, the acct_id of the new connect account?
shell flume
yes
final roost
I cant find the account id for this account
shell flume
You can search for it in your dashboard here if live mode
https://dashboard.stripe.com/connect/accounts/overview
Or here, for test mode accounts:
<https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/connect/accounts/overview>
final roost
I have deleted the accounts now as they were in live mode and this is my companies stripe so don't really want to mess with things in live mode.
I just want a test-mode standard stripe connect account that I can use locally to see how payments are processed.
shell flume
I invite you to create new Test Standard Account following these steps:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts#create-account
And make sure to use your test private key, which you can find here:
https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys

👋 taking over for my colleague. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!
final roost
Alright, I am just following his recommendations. I will confirm how it goes if you don't mind leaving this thread open.
onyx fjord
sure will do
final roost
Is it possible to access the public key of a stripe connect account from the object itself?
onyx fjord
no I don't think so
final roost
How do I prefill the info for the account? i.e the name bank account etc.
The docs just show creating an empty account
final roost
How do I generate a refresh token and access_token for the test account?
wispy hornet
you wouldn't , since those are only concepts related to the deprecated OAuth integration
final roost
The app I am working on was built around 2013, is it possible we are still using that?
wispy hornet
extremely possible yes
final roost
So how would I then get an access_token and refresh_token.
The app is running live and has been
It is working fine
wispy hornet
you get them when you complete the OAuth connection with a connected account on their initial onboarding https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts#token-request
it's impossible to get them for an existing account if you didn't save them at that point
final roost
I created the account via the sdk
wispy hornet
but it doesn't matter since you should never be using the access_token. You should be using the Stripe-Account header instead https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication
