The Account Link is an important step to actually complete the setup of the connect account - you can't just create an express account in the API and expect it to work. There's additional information the account owner needs to provide to finish set up

What I don't understand is how he is going to give this information? Cause the way I am doing it's by adding a link like:

https://connect.stripe.com/express/oauth/authorize?redirect_uri=https://localhost:4200/profile/Moocapps/1&client_id=dasdasdasdassadas&state=thisisanoptionalstatevaluetopreventcsfr&stripe_user[business_type]=individual

How can he complete the additional information

if there is no link for him to do so

[dreamy pendant]

I changed the client_id in here, is something I can expose btw?

The oauth flow would push your user to the onboarding process already, so you wouldnt need to do that step

The documentation showing the account link for onboarding is for when you create the express account yourself via the API

[dreamy pendant]

what do you mean by the oauth flow? You mean the one the user goes when he clicks the link I provided?

Aaaah, account link request is to help to create the link I just pasted? So account link is to create an Uri?

[gray spear]

You're using a flow that's different from the flow in the docs you linked

[gray spear]

Using the oauth flow where the user starts by clicking this link, there's no need to create an account link during initial onboarding

[dreamy pendant]

yes, I didn't do exactly like in the doc, cause I wasn't able to find the button to create the express account from the user on the docs

[gray spear]

Because we've changed the recommended integration pattern to what's shown in the docs 🙂

Ok, I think in this documentation was missing the step where sellers can connect to your markteplace with something like this:

For me account link was not clear it was generating an url

Was missing the HTML part imo

So if I use the static link like this: https://connect.stripe.com/express/oauth/authorize?redirect_uri=https://localhost:4200/profile/Moocapps/1&client_id=dasdasdasdassadas&state=thisisanoptionalstatevaluetopreventcsfr&stripe_user[business_type]=individual is safe?

[gray spear]

The docs for the Express + Oauth flow are here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-express-accounts

but this is deprecated and the account creation + account link is now what we recommend, but you can continue to use the oauth flow if you prefer

[dreamy pendant]

is it safe to expose the client_id ?

on the url

[gray spear]

Yes, that's not sensitive

It's required for the oauth URLs

[dreamy pendant]

nice 🙂 thanks a lot man

[gray spear]

NP!

[dreamy pendant]

And I can see that express is not supported in Brazil, is that right?

[gray spear]

Where do you see that?
