Hi 👋

If your users (Connected Accounts) already have Stripe Accounts you need to use a different approach to connecting your platform account to their existing account.

#

We document this different approach here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts

#

We don't recommend it for new accounts but for connecting to accounts that already exist, this is the only way.

How can I know if the user already have an account ?

compact isle Sep 25, 2023, 3:58 PM

#

Your users would need to provide that information

heavy torrent Sep 25, 2023, 4:09 PM

#

Okay but it's write on the doc :
OAuth is not recommended for new Connect platforms. We recommend using Connect Onboarding for Standard accounts instead.

And can I send payment with your method ?

#

Yes, we don't recommend OAuth for new Connected Accounts. But if your users already have Stripe Accounts that you want to connect to your platform account then this is the only way you can do that.

#

And yes, all of the Standard Account methods of making Connect payments will work using this approach

Okay I just tried but it's not really what I want because It's oauth2 and on mobile it's not simple to integrate (with all securities) ... so I tried the "standard" method instead of the express in my code, and it's what I wanted at this moment. But I saved the link of the doc for the future if I need because it's very different approach and maybe to big for my case.

#

But a question, with the standard method when the user want to create an account he need to create a full account. It's the same for the method you sent to me ?

compact isle Sep 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

Okay, that makes sense. The Standard accounts will give your users new Stripe Accounts.

#

just to be clear, when you say "standard method" do you mean creating standard accounts?

heavy torrent Sep 25, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

Yes

#

Like in my code

#

I had the "express" type and I changed to "standard"

#

Because the express type didn't take the account of the user if already exist

compact isle Sep 25, 2023, 4:40 PM

#

It doesn't matter

#

Even if you switch the type to standard it will still create a new account for your user

heavy torrent Sep 25, 2023, 4:46 PM

#

But with the stripe account information if it already exists? You agree ?

compact isle Sep 25, 2023, 4:47 PM

#

I don't know what you mean

#

This approach will create brand new STripe accounts and your users will need to provide all new account information

heavy torrent Sep 25, 2023, 4:55 PM

#

Never mind, I tried in test mode (with the standard type and not express type) and :

When I want to connect my stripe account (of my company) to the it ask if I want to use the stripe account informations to create the connect account
When I use another account it just ask to create a new Stripe connect account

compact isle Sep 25, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

Okay what is the current state of your question?

heavy torrent Sep 25, 2023, 4:58 PM

#

Yes, you can close the ticket. Thank you for your time ! And I saved the Oauth2 method for the future if I need it
