What do you mean by existing customers stripe account ?
tranquil sail
if the customer already has stripe account can i use that account id ?
every time i am creating account link using stripe.accountLinks.create({
account: account.id,
refresh_url: refresh_url,
return_url: refresh_url,
type: "account_onboarding",
});

You mean if your user already has a express account with a different platform, can they reuse the express account with you, the new platform?
upbeat flax
Do you have one of the express account ID?

i am a full stack developer from scenethink
we use stripe for our payments
we have a scenethink platform account
and we have some businesses who work with us and we collect payment for those businesses and we take part of payment to us and give remaining to businesses
but to onboard new businesses, every time there is a lengthy onboarding process ( with express ) which these businesses are complaining about. They already have stripe account and why can't they use those accounts?
Its not about single express account id ?
its a general question whether we can use existing stripe connect account or platform account of these businesses to connect with them instead of going through lengthy onboarding process

If you are using the Account APIs with Express (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts), then you need to create a new Express account for you user even if they have an existing Express account with other platform.
The legacy OAuth integration looks it provides what you need (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-express-accounts) but I'm not 100% sure about it
tranquil sail
is there any way we can use their existing account ( i am ok if we don't use express )
upbeat flax
You mean existing standard accounts?
tranquil sail
yes
upbeat flax
However there's a change for Standard Platforms https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-changes-for-standard-platforms
tranquil sail
but some part of the payment should come to use and other part should do to business standard account
upbeat flax
Starting in June 2021, Platforms using OAuth with read_write scope won’t be able to connect to accounts that are controlled by another platform. Previously, multiple platforms could connect to the same account.
is this true for standard accounts also ?
because standard account is not controlled by any platform right ?
upbeat flax
That's the change for standard accounts. You can read more in the links that I posted earlier.
tranquil sail
oh ok . thx
upbeat flax
Not really, a standard account can also be managed by a platform.
