Hi there 👋 this is a bit of an odd question. We don't encourage sharing secret details like secret keys or signing secrets. What is the scenario here?

Typically when working in scenarios where you need to take actions on another Stripe account, you use Stripe Connect to set up two accounts (a Platform account and Connected Accounts) that can work together.

Thanks for the fast response. I am working on an application where we want our customers to set their credentials in order to get paid directly to their Stripe accounts.
And I want to validate if these credentials are valid, is this feasible?

That's not a good flow, any security conscious person will avoid doing so because giving you their secret key would give you full access and control over what happens in their Stripe account.

If you want to build a flow where you process payments and transfer funds to the Stripe accounts of third-parties, you should use Stripe Connect. It was explicitly desinged for scenarios like that.

Ok thanks for the info, I will check the Stripe connect and get back if I have more questions. 🙂
