jack i want to genrate link for my clients so they can connect their stripe account with my platform account. how can i do that using stripe api?
wild needle
It's possible to do that via OAuth: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts
However, OAuth is no longer recommended. I'd recommend following the new Connect integration by creating the connected account for your own platform: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/explore-connect-guide and https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts

Alright. let me chek
so this will connect client's stripe account with my platform am i correct
wild needle
The new connect integration will create a new connected account for your platform instead of connect existing Stripe account to your platform

according to above provided link we will create new account for our clients is it correct? what if i want to connect somone already existing account with my platform?
wild needle
To connect existing account to Stripe, it will be using OAuth: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts
Please note that:
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
This means that if the existing account has connected to other platform, it's not possible to connect via OAuth anymore. Therefore, I'd recommend using new integration by creating your own connected accounts instead: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts

so for oauth method i have to add them as my client on stripe first?

You use OAuth if you clients are existing accounts with Stripe. Otherwise you should use the new Connect integration.
