I asked a similar question yesterday, but am just now getting around to solving it, synthwave was who i was talking ot

Hello, I think this usually happens if you specify capabilities when creating the account

If you create the account without requesting capabilities and then create the account links, does that work?

[wintry jewel]

    admin_user = current_admin_user

    if admin_user.stripe_account_id.nil?
      account = Stripe::Account.create(
        type: 'custom',
        email: admin_user.authentication.email,
        requested_capabilities: ['card_payments', 'transfers']
      )
      Rails.logger.info("Created stripe account: #{account}")
      admin_user.update(stripe_account_id: account.id)
    else
      account = Stripe::Account.retrieve(admin_user.stripe_account_id)
    end

    account_link = Stripe::AccountLink.create(
      account: account.id,
      refresh_url: "#{ENV.fetch('ADMIN_HOST_DOMAIN')}/account/edit",
      return_url: "#{ENV.fetch('ADMIN_HOST_DOMAIN')}/account/edit",
      type: 'account_onboarding'
    )

    render json: account_link, status: :ok
  end```

is my current code - let me check by removing requested_capabilities

You must request one or more of the following capabilities: transfers. Please visit https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-capabilities to learn more.```

Apologies that I was mistaken. Looking in to that error and double checking what I said about the country being locked in when you specify capabilities

[wintry jewel]

making it only transfers seems to no longer have it ask for address or ssn.. which is interesting, idk if there is a difference between my test env and prod, because it seems like if they get sent right to adding a bank that'll work, but in the dashboard they do still have the US flag

req_LOB6CSjliXnJIV if this is helpful is the original account link request

[cold needle]

Thank you, was just about to ask for that ID

Can you send the ID for the time you got the error about needing to request transfers

[wintry jewel]

i don't think it made it past the ruby gem

nvm - it did sec

req_fozp9PCAYTuLkw

Ah, so my advice applied to Express accounts. For Connect accounts you need to specify the capabilities and country upfront. So it would be best to collect the user's country code before creating their account

[wintry jewel]

hmmmmmm

what countries are supported

i'll just make dropdown on the front end that passes it to the endpoint which is fine, i also just need the country codes/abbreviations

if there is a handy dandy doc for that somewhere

[cold needle]

Looking for the doc on that and will get back to you

ty

here's what i'm about to test - let me know if this seems like we're on the same page:

    admin_user = current_admin_user

    if admin_user.stripe_account_id.nil?
      account = Stripe::Account.create(
        type: 'custom',
        country: params[:country],
        email: admin_user.authentication.email,
        requested_capabilities: ['card_payments', 'transfers']
      )
      Rails.logger.info("Created stripe account: #{account}")
      admin_user.update(stripe_account_id: account.id)
    else
      account = Stripe::Account.retrieve(admin_user.stripe_account_id)
    end

    account_link = Stripe::AccountLink.create(
      account: account.id,
      refresh_url: "#{ENV.fetch('ADMIN_HOST_DOMAIN')}/account/edit",
      return_url: "#{ENV.fetch('ADMIN_HOST_DOMAIN')}/account/edit",
      type: 'account_onboarding'
    )

    render json: account_link, status: :ok
  end```

Apologies for the delay, according to the API reference, you can create a custom connect account in any country listed on these two pages
https://stripe.com/global
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cross-border-payouts

https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create#create_account-country

[wintry jewel]

do you have the abbreviations for the countries anywhere?

ie - united states = US
philippines = ?

[cold needle]

Stripe doesn't list them but we do use ISO standard ones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2

[wintry jewel]

oh sweet, that's exactly what i was hoping for

did you take a sec to read the code i sent over to see if we're on the same page there? i'd just pass in the country code as a param on the front end

[cold needle]

Apologies, misread that message. Yep that code looks like what I was saying, if you test with that it should work as long as a proper country code is passed to your backend
