I got the response from chatgpt that it is possible, and i can do it that way:
this is for company verification
and this one below is for person verification:
(btw, chatgpt is amazing)

Hi, taking look on my end. You're just trying to confirm if you can use VerificationSessions to verify an entity, is that correct?
wary anvil
yes, only the verification part
everything else is provided by my custom ui flow (i am not using built in web connect onboarding flow for custom accoutns)
opal zenith
Got it, looking now
wary anvil
thanks 🙂
opal zenith
Looking through out document, it does look like it: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/identity-verification-api#acceptable-verification-documents .This documents what we can accept as proof of identity, address, and entity for each country Stripe supports.
wary anvil
yes, but also on this documentation page
there is no mention of verification sessions
only manual uploading verification documents via File Api
opal zenith
Typing out more ...
wary anvil
so i am not sure it applies to Verification Session
opal zenith
Yeah, I see what you're saying. I do not see 'business' for the type parameter: https://stripe.com/docs/api/identity/verification_sessions/create#create_identity_verification_session-type
Let me take some time to test and further investigate this.
wary anvil
you are right, i don't see it my .net api either
but maybe there is a chance that it just needs "document" type, and the verification session UI flow will guide user through all the verification required steps, both for company verification and person(people) verifications?
opal zenith
From looking at this object, https://stripe.com/docs/api/identity/verification_sessions/object.. it does not appear that we support it for business and it just applies to identities of your users. Let me confirm with a teammate
wary anvil
ok 😦
i guess it's better than nothing
uploading person id cards requires much more trust than company verification docuements
iguess

I was able to confirm and the VerificationSession is only for individuals. I'm unsure where chatGPT is getting this from. After talking to a teammate, we think what you'd want is Connect Onboarding: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/connect-onboarding. I'd highly recommend you read through this and let me know what questions you may have.
wary anvil
I don't want to use connect onboarding
🙂
it is just not elastic at all
and have bugs
for example, in Poland the tax id is called in this onboarding "REGON" which is outdates polish company tax id
we use NIP now
and also users can change the vat id with connect onboarding, and that vat id is later not accessible from api
for security reasons
so there is no way to for example use differnet invoicing software

Remember, kids: ChatGPT DOES NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS - it just fills in it's best guess for the words to follow your prompt based on text on the web. It is an LLM, not an AI. It does not know what a question is, nor an answer, nor what "true" or"false" even mean. As one person put it: it is a COMPASS, not a map.
wary anvil
because stripe does not provide the ability to get tax id (because of secruiy reasons)

Our current solution is Connect Onboarding and no, VerificationSession does not work for a business entity.
