By have and does not have Connect, do you mean something displays on Dashboard?

[calm needle]

yes

[acoustic goblet]

acct_1NESJrDRWIHcDEwI is a Standard Account which is connected and controlled by acct_1EJBfkGQ7oUirEec , so it would have Connect itself

[calm needle]

but acct_1NESJrDRWIHcDEwI has no "Connect"

actually i'm more interested in acct_1NE20WGfa1HCJBJn, as in, how do i create another TEST MODE account like it, with Connect

both were created using API

[acoustic goblet]

Okie, can you try https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/connect/accounts/overview and click on "Create" then choose "Standard"

It will get you a link

Access the link and complete the information

[calm needle]

1 second

let me try

when loading https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/connect/accounts/overview

1. acct_1NE20WGfa1HCJBJn has connect
2. acct_1NESJrDRWIHcDEwI does not have connect
3. acct_1EJBfkGQ7oUirEec LIVE account

which account should i use?? 1, 2 or 3?

[acoustic goblet]

I mean you want to create a completely new Account which has Connect, right? not reusing the existing accounts

[calm needle]

as long as it is a TEST ONLY (can never go live) + has Connect tab

[acoustic goblet]

Yep so let's try it and see if you can create a Standard account which is not fully controlled by this Platform

[calm needle]

i logged in with acct_1EJBfkGQ7oUirEec and used the steps to create acct_1NESoKF702H0RHtL, but it still does not have Connect

can help me check why?

[acoustic goblet]

I don't know how you created acct_1NESoKF702H0RHtL so can't say, but I meant if you process with this route maybe you will achieve what you want

[calm needle]

yea i understand

i'm asking because you guys have more knowledge and probably can see the logs better... so really hoping u can help me out here thanks

[acoustic goblet]

What I know is there are basically 2 flow to create Standard Accounts:

1. Using Account Link (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts)
2. Using OAuth link , which is the steps I mentioned above

I know that those kind of account which is not controlled by the Platform comes from 2., so that's why I suggested. And account which is not controlled by the Platform would have its own Connect tab

[calm needle]

ok let me try

[calm needle]

ok, the 2nd one seems to work

but it merges with my current account...

1. acct_1EJBfkGQ7oUirEec (REEC) has ca_O0Q5G9OgM0lLWpQA2vyeFJu9sYsrs1ar
2. so i used https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=ca_O0Q5G9OgM0lLWpQA2vyeFJu9sYsrs1ar&scope=read_write
3. it created acct_1NETP0GJy7T1VoaP (VOAP), but not in a separate login
4. both REEC and VOAP share 1 login...
5. VOAP should separate right?

Not if you were already authenticated in the browser. The onboarding flow will prompt you to authenticate with Stripe credentials (or create a new account if you don't have one)

I guess you had a session/cookie

[calm needle]

so i should logout first?

[noble cedar]

Your Stripe login can have multiple accounts

[noble cedar]

If you want to use a different email address, yes

[calm needle]

ahhhhhhhhhhh.. let me try again

tbh.. this is all really confusing with so many permutations

[noble cedar]

How come? What is it you're trying to do exactly?

Generally most people are fine have multiple accounts under a single email/login

[calm needle]

hmm

well.. the concept of multiple "accounts" under 1 login is very confusing

i don't know exactly who i am at any given time

i wanted TEST MODE ONLY accounts to play the various roles

from experimentation, i somehow landed on a few separate TEST ONLY accounts that have Connect

[noble cedar]

Depends in what context I guess. Pretty clear from the Dashboard

[calm needle]

i asked my OP question several times in many different ways, but most of the staff here told me they don't know how to recreate my scenario

hmmm well, i managed to implement multiparty using paypal's docs alone, no need to reach out to any support

[noble cedar]

I don't know what scenario it is you're trying to emulate exactly

[calm needle]

i want to do muti party

period

[noble cedar]

Ok, but why do you care about creating multiple accounts under different emails/logins? Why specifically does that matter?

[calm needle]

but then, i'm asked if i want express, standard or custom.... how is this even related? too much details

[noble cedar]

It's very relevant actually: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts

[calm needle]

can i send by voice here? it's too much to type coherently

[noble cedar]

Let me know if you have a specific issue/question I can help with

[noble cedar]

We cannot

[calm needle]

an account is an account... why do we need so many types.. well i do kind of understand the different types now.. but it's really alot for someone new to stripe to handle

i don't have any issues already.. all i'm trying to do is give u some feedback

[noble cedar]

Yeah I appreciate that, and that's why I'm here to answer any questions you have

[calm needle]

welll u are giving me alot of rebuttals to my feedback

[noble cedar]

We're working to simplify the account concept in the future

[calm needle]

i'm saying it's confusing and alot to handle, but u stand on the point that it's pretty clear from the dashboard

[noble cedar]

I said it's clear which account is active from the Dashboard, but I wasn't sure which context you were referring to

[calm needle]

well confusing because i logged in using [e-mail], so i expect to be "A", then multiple selections are allowed, "A", "B", "C" etc i.e. multiple accounts

for a new comer, why would they even think that 1 login can lead to multiple accounts? so seeing "B", "C" is very confusing

[calm needle]

if u could name me another hosted service that does this, perhaps i stand corrected

[noble cedar]

In what context are you seeing multiple accounts that's confusing?

[calm needle]

i tried to create a new account, but i can't login as that new account, they somehow get tied together... isn't that confusing?

it was only cleared up when u said i was already logged in
