Hello, what is your question?

[real badger]

// Set your secret key. Remember to switch to your live secret key in production.
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys
const stripe = require('stripe')('sk_test_51Mj9dFGQVpwkvutOIT5MjLTz1cDoTXY7Xb3wTvBfZGEs3v7TEwSoq6VZHc6hio2Vysy6WXm7Y57MZ2lohbB5VCGn00AWa6B49y');

const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create(
{
amount: 1000,
currency: 'usd',
automatic_payment_methods: {
enabled: true,
},
},
{
stripeAccount: '{{CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
}
);

this is the example snipet provided. If I am creating the account for the first time how will I have the account ID or is that suppose to be my api key?

line 14

[fierce spade]

In theory you should only be creating an intent like that after you have already onboarded the connected account

That parameter is expecting an ID like acct_1234

Do you have any test connected accounts in test mode?

Also I would reccommend that you roll your test mode secret key https://stripe.com/docs/keys#rolling-keys

Secret keys should not be included in public messages like on this server

[real badger]

My test connected accounts work fine but when I switch to production it says I am missing an API key

thanks I forgot the examples include my key

[fierce spade]

Can you send me the exact error you are seeing about the API key being missing? Can you make other API calls with that key?

[real badger]

Yes all the call go through fine until I try to make a call to create a new connect account

I am getting this error:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: You did not provide an API key. You need to provide your API key in the Authorization header, using Bearer auth (e.g. 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_KEY'). See https://stripe.com/docs/api#authentication for details, or we can help at https://support.stripe.com/

[fierce spade]

Hey @real badger apologies but I missed your reply for a bit. Can you send me your code for how you are making that call?

That is strange if you can make other API calls in a similar way

Can you do me a favor and make a list customer call just before you make this call? See if that gets the same error https://stripe.com/docs/api/customers/list

This sounds like the API client is not being set up properly

[real badger]

app.post('/v1/accounts', async (req, res) => {
const postData = req.body;
console.log("Body: ", req.body);

console.log("Email: ", req.body.email);
console.log("Pro ID: ", req.body.proid);

// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/apikeys

const account = await stripe.accounts.create({
type: 'express',
email: req.body.email,
business_type: 'company',

});

res.send(200);
});

[fierce spade]

Yeah definitely try that list call just before.

That call should work as long as the API client is set up

[real badger]

it does in test mode. Idk why live is different. In Connect settings I do see a Live mode client ID. I am not using it and idk how to use it. I think thats what is causing the issue

[fierce spade]

Have you double checked that your live configuration has a valid secret key?

Like can you print it out just before you pass it in to the stripe client?

[real badger]

I will try that, but i create customers just fine. If it was my secret key nothing would work right?

👋 stepping in here as Pompey needs to step away

[real badger]

ok np

[stark moss]

Hmm so you are saying that only certain requests are seeing this error but other requests work?

Or all livemode requests experience this error but testmode works?

[real badger]

So in Connect setting under Integration I see Live mode client ID starts with ca_... what does that do/for?

[stark moss]

You can mostly ignore that

It would be for the legacy OAuth flow that was used to connect accounts

[real badger]

Everything works in test mode, and everthing except Connect accounts work in Live mode

[stark moss]

But you should not need to use that anymore with the new Connect Onboarding flow

[real badger]

I am using Express

[stark moss]

In your code can you log out stripe in the line before const account = await stripe.accounts.create({

[real badger]

ok one sec
