https://docs.stripe.com/connect/oauth-reference you can use the OAuth flow to connect an existing stripe account to your platform

Connect OAuth reference

This reference lists available public methods for our OAuth endpoints for Connect.

#

We do use the oath flow. do we need to set anything specific to allow users to connect to an existing account?

#

orchid pond Feb 26, 2024, 5:48 AM

#

No, this is not Oauth flow. I'd suggest you go through the doc that I shared earlier to learn how to use Oauth flow.

dusk yacht Feb 26, 2024, 5:48 AM

#

okay thank you

#

will that oauth flow allow users to create stripe connect accounts or is it somehting we'd need to use separately ?

Ie add an option for our users to do one or the other?

orchid pond Feb 26, 2024, 5:49 AM

#

Again, please read the doc

dusk yacht Feb 26, 2024, 5:50 AM

#

i defintely will read it, thank you. But I mean if you know the answer you could just say yes or know too 🙂 woudlnt hurt would it?

#

No you don't need to explicitly create a Stripe account if you are using the OAuth flow

dusk yacht Feb 26, 2024, 5:53 AM

#

okay thnak you. if our users dont have a stripe account yet, can they create one with that OAth flow in the same was as they were with teh create stripe connect flow we had before?

#

Ive read the document and it appears that we can use Oath to both allow users to create a new stripe connect business profile account, but also connect to their existing account?

#

rather than providing two options in our UI. one to create a new accunt (existing workflow) , one to connect to an existing account

orchid pond Feb 26, 2024, 6:02 AM

#

Yes you can do that. But be aware that not all connected accounts can be connected to more than one platform.

#

It's recommended to use /v1/accounts to create a new account for your user.

dusk yacht Feb 26, 2024, 6:03 AM

#

okay, so in that case would it be best to have two options? one to Oauth connect existing account, and one to create a new account?

orchid pond Feb 26, 2024, 6:05 AM

#

My personal opinion is always create new connected accounts for your users instead of connecting existing Stripe accounts.

dusk yacht Feb 26, 2024, 6:05 AM

#

okay

#

thank you

#

and why is that? just because of the reason that some accounts cant connect to more than one platform or is there any other reasons too?

orchid pond Feb 26, 2024, 6:09 AM

#

https://support.stripe.com/questions/standard-accounts-with-platform-controls if the account is created after June 16, 2021, that account can only be connected to one platform, and will not be able to connected to another platform.

okay so they'd need to create a new stripe connect account for our platform anyway. Because stripe would prefer a different account per platform?
