Hi there, you can check the account's capabilities list (https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/object#account_object-capabilities) and see what payment capabilities are active

Thanks @royal gyro ! Is it possible to do this without using Connect?

#

You can use this API to retrieve your own account object, if that's what you ask.

Thanks, @royal gyro . Using the Stripe PHP library, I've just tried calling $stripe->accounts->all(); for an account I'm using to test my work and the result doesn't seem to contain any accounts:

object(Stripe\Collection)#637 (4) { ["object"]=> string(4) "list" ["data"]=> array(0) { } ["has_more"]=> bool(false) ["url"]=> string(12) "/v1/accounts" }

https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/retrieve#retrieve_account you can just call retrieve account API and pass your Stripe account ID to get your own account.

Thanks, @royal gyro . Apologies if I'm asking something very basic, but as a platform we've been able to do everything we need by using a user's secret and public API keys. If all we have is those keys, which API call do we use to fetch the account's ID? (that's what I was trying to do with $stripe->accounts->all(); )

Just to be clear, do you intent to retrieve your own account, or a list of your connected account?

#

As a platform, I would like to use a user's API key to retrieve their account ID.

royal gyro Jan 10, 2023, 8:38 AM

#

If the user's API key means the connected account's API key, you shouldn't do that.

#

You should always use your own API key, and specify a Stripe-Account ID to make API requests on behalf of a connected account. https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication

OK, thanks Jack: we're not using Connect, so I think that means that we can't do this.
