these are the info I am missing
pulsar summit
Hi! Let me help you with this.
Could you please share the new account ID? acct_xxx
crimson pollen
acct_1N1AkoR3DOyDGqnf
in reality, I have a php application and I am using the "Create an account" api
pulsar summit
What type of account are you creating?
crimson pollen
basically, i want the main stripe account to be able to pay the connected account under it
so when a transaction is made, the main account will take a cut and hold the amount for a certain amount of time and will then distribute the rest to the second account
I am making an air bnb clone where users will subscribe to a service to be able to list their houses.
When someone is renting the house, we want the main account to get the money to redistribute it to the owner of the house
pulsar summit
I see
I think separate charges and transfers is the best way forward: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers
crimson pollen
i still need to create the account correct?
pulsar summit
Yes
crimson pollen
I see, do I still need to give all the informations related to the picture?
at least a bank account I assume
pulsar summit
It depends, you can let your clients go through Stripe-hosted onboarding if you use Express or Standard accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts
Then they will be able to fill out all the information themselves
crimson pollen
I know. As i mentionned before, I would like to not go with onboarding and do it manually instead to stay in the application
pulsar summit
Then yes, you need to have all this information and update the connected account with it.
crimson pollen
i was able to clear a couple of them
pulsar summit
What about the rest?
crimson pollen
I think i was able to find the product description
for ToS i found the field
oh no this field is only to mention when it was done not the action to do it
pulsar summit
You can read here for more info on this: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/updating-accounts#tos-acceptance
crimson pollen
The last thing is the back account. I know i can use a checkout/sessions to add one if I remember correctly
pulsar summit
You mean "bank account"? No I don't think so. You need to add it with API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/update#update_account-external_account
autumn plumeBOT
crimson pollen
it's also in creation so i figured it would be possible
https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create#create_account-external_account
same thing for the ToS
cobalt osprey
👋 stepping in
crimson pollen
why can I add the ToS values in creation if i get an error message saying I cannot do it
no issue 🙂
cobalt osprey
What type of Connected Accounts are you working with?
crimson pollen
standard
cobalt osprey
Ah okay yeah for Standard and Express accounts you can't accept ToS on their behalf
crimson pollen
oh i see
cobalt osprey
They have to go through the onboarding flow to accept that themselves
You can pre-fill most of the data on creation
But not ToS
crimson pollen
dang
cobalt osprey
If you want full control, you need to use Custom accounts
crimson pollen
what would be the difference then?
cobalt osprey
Well the Connected Account user doesn't have a Dashboard. You create the UI for them and handle everything as the platform
That lays out the differences
cobalt osprey
Yeah then you want Standard
crimson pollen
and to finish everything the user HAS to use the onboarding correct?
cobalt osprey
Yep
crimson pollen
ahhh dang ok
cobalt osprey
As I noted, you can basically prefill everything except for their login info and the ToS
crimson pollen
i was really trying to not use it since we want everything to be self contained
I see then we have no choice on the matter. Is the integration for the bank account a step of the onboarding?
i can just try it to see
cobalt osprey
Yep it is
You can either pre-fill the bank account or allow them to handle it themselves during the onboarding flow
crimson pollen
it would be easier on my side to let you guys do it then. So all i really need then is the create the link url so the user can go do his onboarding and everything will be set
i tried it once but i was asked if it was possible to not do that
now I know it's impossible
cobalt osprey
Yep basically we will take care of everything in onboarding
crimson pollen
alright and the previous staff answered my other question for the payments. I will take a look for the proper way of playing the client then.
cobalt osprey
Sounds good. Let us know if we can help any further
