Hi, are you asking if a single person object, https://stripe.com/docs/api/persons can be used for two separate connected accounts?

#

yes exactly!

#

No, that is not possible. When you create a person object it ties to that specific account, https://stripe.com/docs/api/persons/create and if you try passing that object again on another account, you'd get an error.

#

What is your utimate goal here?

#

We have the same user who manages multiple stores (that need separate book keeping) and thus has to create an connect account for each
However, by not reusing the person object, they have to enter all their information every time again and go through the verfication again despite the fact that nothing changes. This is taking a lot of time and error prone

I see, in this case, if you already have the data on your end you can pre-fill some of the data when you create the account, https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create so they do not have to fill out some of the information they've already provided.

but that doesnt change anything on the verification aspect. In our experience, it unfortunately happens a lot that the first verification fails and the stripe support needs to manually verify an account, which easily takes multiple days and multiple mails.. Seeing that its always the same person, it would be best to have a way to simplify the verification for additional accounts

#

I see, yeah in this case you can't use a single person object on different accounts. I'll share this feedback with the team for future product reiterations.
