@hot vault Hello! CAn I ask you to provide a lot more details behind your real ask? Which exact doc are you following? Why do you need the Token? What's the context and what does your code look like

Hi, i'm following this doc: https://stripe.com/docs/financial-connections/other-data-powered-products?platform=ios#accept-ach-direct-debit
After account is added I have to let my backend knows that this account is added, so we can add it to our records as external stripe account.

That doc is about using FinancialConnections for collecting bank details for a payment right? You get a pm_12345 out of thise for use with the PaymentIntent API. Did you link to the wrong doc maybe?
hot vault
it's just used to collect account data, I'm not sure is it any other doc on how to use sheet to update account.
I assumed this is what should be used.

I'm really sorry, there are dozens of ways to integrate our products and APIs but you haven't really given a clear picture of your overall ask and you linked to a doc that is simply about connecting to a bank account.
What are you trying to really do? Are you a Connect platform trying to use FinancialConnections to collecting bank account details for your connected account's Payouts where you are going to send them their funds there but you don't want them to enter raw bank account details first?
I'm sure it's clear in your head right now but we help a ton of developers in parallel and we have many different integration paths
hot vault
I know our frontend is using this call: https://stripe.com/docs/js/financial_connections/collect_bank_account_token. So we try to let users add their external financial account for payouts.
So looks like this is correct page for what I'm trying to do: https://stripe.com/docs/financial-connections/connect-payouts.
Sorry for misunderstanding, I'm a bit confused too since I didn't work with this before.

all good, this can be complex but the doc you shared clearly says "Beta" at the top. I think this is a new feature only for a few accounts right now and I don't think it's yet supported in Mobile SDKs
do you know if you got access to maybe a secret/beta feature from your account manager or something?
hot vault
I'm trying to understand this, maybe they got private access
give me couple minutes, I'll come back to you, thanks
ocean bobcat
Ultimately this looks like a feature request so you likely want to talk to your account manager about this if you have one or reach out to our support team
We can't really help with beta features on this Discord server
hot vault
While I'm getting back from manager, I have one more question. So I still can use Financial Connection Sheet on iOS to request account information from user using this manual : https://stripe.com/docs/financial-connections/other-data-powered-products?platform=ios. My question is how this data can be used right know? I know it is in beta, but you have some working functionality already, right?
ocean bobcat
I'm sorry, it's tough to help you as I don't undertand what you are asking right now and you're half talking about a beta and we don't help with betas on Discord. The product you are talking about is called FinancialConnections, it lets you ask your customers to connect their bank account so that you can see information such as their balance, their historical transactions or account ownership, depending on which permissions you're asking. It's a "standalone product" and you can use the APIs documented on that page. But it's also compatible with other parts of our API such as using that account information for payments (using PaymentIntent) or for paying out funds via Treasury for example.
hot vault
Ok, I don't know where I have to ask this since it's beta, but sheet exists in current prod SDK version, so my question is if I integrate Financial Connection Sheet on iOS like mentioned here: https://stripe.com/docs/financial-connections/other-data-powered-products?platform=ios#integrate. And user entered account data, does anything happen with this data, or since it's in beta I cannot use any of this functionality irl?
ocean bobcat
but you said you were trying to use this as an external account earlier
I'm really lost/confused with what you are even asking 😦
hot vault
ok ignore it
ocean bobcat
It should be really simple. Are you trying to
- Have them pay via their bank account for a service. They give you money
- Have them be paid for a service. You give them money
hot vault
I'm trying to understand this, maybe they got private access
Ok, I just got confirmation that they had requested beta access.
ocean bobcat
gotcha, so they should have a point of context that can help funnel your questions and/or you can chat with our support team for help: https://support.stripe.com/contact. Sorry this is just too hard to help here as we're not really understanding the overall state of your account and the intent either so our support team is likely a better place as they can look at your account and what you are trying to do.
