Hello, can you tell me more about what you are trying to do here?

#

Yes of course. I use Stripe Connect as a Plateform. All connected account we created are Express ones. My boss asked me to "transform" these into Standard ones.
I know it's not that simple. So I'm currently trying to code a migration script. The first step that already makes me struggling, is to duplicate the Stripe Account, but with a different type.

So is there a way to create a Standard Account, set all informations I had on the previous account into this one (including tos acceptance, bank informations etc.) ?

Unfortunately not, as far as I know. They would basically need to create new standard accounts and fill in their info again. I think you could pre-fill some of the info via the API but I don't think TOS acceptance and bank account info are copyable between accounts

#

Not what I hoped 😅 For TOS acceptance, I just saw that it can be set at the account creation, so that's solved 👍

#

I was hoping there would be a kinda guide through this. Because the Account object I get with retrieve() is not quite similar to the params expected by the create() . I was hoping a mapping guide

Hey sorry I missed your message for a bit. Are there specific fields you are having trouble mapping here?

rustic thunder Feb 9, 2023, 8:30 PM

#

No problem. Yes for example, the create() documentation tells us we can set company (a dictionary) but I don't find those information by retrieving the express account

#

I seem to lack a lot of information with the retrieve method

#

It looks like that hash is only retrievable for custom accounts. Our API ref may be helpful to you here, it has CUSTOM ONLY next to fields that can only be retrieved for custom accounts https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/object#account_object-company

Stripe API reference – The account object – curl

Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.

#

Unfortunately that is the case for quite a few fields for privacy reasons

Ok thanks. One last question, is there a way to create a token for the bank account linked to the old express account, that I can pass on to the new account ?

I see that with the retrieve I can retrieve quite a lot of information on the bank account, BUT the account number that I need

#

Maybe the token is the solution here? I know that it is what you recommend for sharing cards between plateform and connected account, but I don't know if it will work for a bank account

I don't think that will work for the account's external bank account. We support payment method cloning for charging customers but as far as I am aware it does not work for bank accounts to take payouts
