Hi, sure -- what is the question here?
Thanks I was hoping for more details with the oauth flow. The situation is we want to do this as a one off transfer from one connected account to another (already created) stripe account. Is this doc saying we would have to implement a full oauth connection flow to support this account going forward? If there are are reasons why this is not advised / not supported more than happy to factor that into whether we do this but I'm just trying to understand what Stripe provides as far support for a one off change like this.
Hhmmm, there is not a direct way to transfer one connected account to the other. The Platform account would need to be involved here to debit the Connected Account, https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-debits and then make a transfer https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers/create.
Thanks, I'm not concerned about making any money transfer its just updating things so that the old account is the connected account going forward.
sorry saying transfer probably made that unclear. I just mean registering a old account as a connected account, and then starting to make payments to that one instead
Yeah, transfer means something else on our end. This helps clarify the ask a bit. Why are your concerns with the oAuth? If you're trying to use Connect to make payments, the account needs to be connected to your Platform account.
I was just checking if this means we need to support an oauth flow going forward for this account or if it can be done as a one time connection. Basically is doing this going to cause any long term maintenance we'll need to do to support this account? The person who replied previously said doing this was not recommended by Stripe so I'd appreciate an explanation of why its not recommended. If there are good reasons not to do this I'm more than happy not to, I just want to be able to explain that to the person who requested it
It's just a one time connection. Once connected, as long as you disconnect it you won't have to do it again.
Like it's not recommend, https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts. Rather you'd want t use the modern flow: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
