What's the Q?

[fringe isle]

hello

The question is

once a get the capability object

the status value

can have 4 different state

active , inactive,pending or unrequested

what does pending mean exactly?

hopefully that makes sense

im using this command in the Stripe CLI

stripe capabilities retrieve 'account' card payment

[agile ledge]

It's likely that there's information/requirements missing on the related account for the capability to be enabled. Do you have a specific example you can share? What is it you're trying to do?

[fringe isle]

sure

actually no i dont

lol

i dont have a connected account that in a state of pending

[agile ledge]

What exactly are you trying to do then?

[fringe isle]

im creating a ridesharing app

and when people sign up to use my app

they need to create a connected account in order to receive payment

[agile ledge]

Sure, all sounds pretty standard so far

[fringe isle]

depending on the state of the connected account

i know i need to slight different URL's to help with the onbording process

or

making a amendment to there connect account

so

i understand what to do if a account is in a active state

and in a inactive state

im not sure what to do if a account in is a pending state

[agile ledge]

You'd check the charges_enabled, payouts_enabled and requirements hash on the Account object to get an idea whether the account is onboarded, or whether there is outstanding info: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/identity-verification-api#determining-if-identity-or-business-verification-is-needed

Best way is via account.updated events
