Hello, what about that step are you looking for help with? Is there a certain thing that you are trying to configure that you are having trouble figuring out?

#

I'm actually just struggling to find where / how I actually make the changes. For example where do I go to make sure each account is created as an Express account

terse heart Dec 19, 2022, 2:13 PM

#

That would be in your code. Each time you create an account, you will pass in type='express' in your code

#

In these red boxes?

terse heart Dec 19, 2022, 2:14 PM

#

Yes, the middle green box shows all of the things that you can set when creating an account, the top right box shows an example of how to pass some of them in in your code

#

Okay got it. So the bottom right is my code to work with

#

is that correct?

terse heart Dec 19, 2022, 2:19 PM

#

Bottom right is the response that the code in the upper right will return

Okay got it, appreciate you answering my extremely noob questions. And apologies as I don't want to waste your time making you explain very basic stuff. Last few questions to help me get a better idea of this stuff.

Can you tell me, do I already have a Connect Express Onboarding set up by default and all of this is just for customization? Or is this necessary to pretty much build it from scratch?

Also, is this onboarding process something I would provide to my contractors via a link or do I have to integrate on my website?

#

If you go through the first step in that doc you linked, where you configure the initial onboarding stuff in your dashboard, connect onboarding should be set up enough that you can make these calls. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts#configure-onboarding

#

Okay got it, and last question. Where exactly is the code that I should be altering for example to switch the account creation to Express etc.

terse heart Dec 19, 2022, 2:29 PM

#

The parameters in this call are mostly for if you already have this info and want to pre-fill it so your users don't have to fill them out themselves. So when creating the account you only technically need to pass in type=express and when creating accountlinks you only need to pass in the account ID, account link type, and return+refresh URLs https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts#create-link

#

Not sure I understand that question. What are you looking to alter at the moment?

#

Also I am not sure if you are looking for this but if you want to hire someone to write this Stripe API code for you, we have a list verified Stripe experts here[1], and otherwise TopTal and Upwork have a lot of good freelancers for Stripe integrations.

Upwork will be the way. I'm normally open to learning at least the basics of new things like this but even with this seemingly simple task my brain is struggling lol.

#

Appreciate your help very much brother

terse heart Dec 19, 2022, 2:39 PM

Of course, happy to help. And yes that makes sense, we are always happy to help with the API but I totally get it being more of a struggle than it is worth (especially with Connect which is one of our more complex products). Good luck getting your integration up and running!
