if you're using Standard accounts, you do not set or provide any of that(the API will tell you what's missing for your information, but you do not set it)
the owner of the account visits their Stripe Dashboard and completes their account application/info there.(they also get emails and banners and stuff from us).

I see.
Can I ask who exactly the owner of the account is, when our platform automatically creates connected accounts?
stuck flint
it's the person you're creating account for
to step back , you are using Standard accounts correct?
maiden kite
yes, standard accounts.
stuck flint
then after you create the account ,you are creating an AccountLink correct?

it's that person that you are sharing the link with, that's the owner of the account.
the AccountLink process itself will also ask the user for all the information needed, that's what it's for.
maiden kite
I don't create account link, I didn't think it was necessary
stuck flint
it's completely necessary so that's your issue really and why your account is not onboarded and missing all the information
maiden kite
I see.
What we did so far is:
- create account for the seller (which is not connected to anybody, actually)
- create customer under that account
- create payment intent for that customer
- confirm that payment intent
On top of these, can I simply add the implementation for account link?
stuck flint
create account for the seller (which is not connected to anybody, actually)
surely it's connected with the seller, of course ? 🙂
but no, you can't just create an account, then not onboard it(use the AccountLink to collect the legally-required merchant info of the seller) and do a payment
you would create the account, create the AccountLink, redirect the intended owner of the account(the seller) to that link, they enter their information, and then when the account is active you can use it to charge end-customers of the seller; as covered in
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/enable-payment-acceptance-guide

I see.
After those steps, can I use almost the same logic (create customer, create payment intent, confirm it) that I already wrote?
stuck flint
yep
