You can't – Express accounts can only be connected to a single platform. You'd create and onboard a new account: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/express-accounts

Thanks for response😇 . So for a user who already have a working stripe account and instead of creating a connected account they want to just connect it with our stripe. What is the proper method to do that?

[turbid ermine]

Well if it's an Express account, they can't. In any case the correct method is to create an account via the API and onboard via an Account Link

[opaque fractal]

But we can do that in custom account?

[turbid ermine]

No, only standard accounts can be connected to multiple platforms

[opaque fractal]

Right

So customer who want to connect their stripe with ours should have standard account?

[turbid ermine]

The recommended practice is to create a new Account via the API, and onboard that to your platform. Your user can use their existing Stripe credentials to authenticate with the new account, but it is considered a separate entity in Stripe

Otherwise you'd generate an OAuth link and the user can connect their exisitng account

Right Thanks! I did that like this. But this seems to be not working. If this way is wrong or any other solution please suggest Thanks
I redirected user to this https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=CLIENT_ID&scope=read_write&redirect_uri=${redirectUri}` when user land on redirect URI I called this function written below
exports.stripeOAuthCallback = functions.https.onRequest((req, res) => {
cors(req, res, async () => {
try {
functions.logger.log("req", req);
const code = req.body.code;
console.log("code", code);
const resp = await axios.post("https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/token", {
grant_type: "authorization_code",
client_id: "CLIENT_ID",
code: code,
client_secret:
"SECRETE",
redirect_uri: "http://localhost:3001/", // Same as above
});

  functions.logger.log("response.data", resp.data);
  const connectedAccountId = resp.data.stripe_user_id;
  const accessToken = resp.data.access_token;
  // Log or use the connected account ID as needed
  functions.logger.log("Connected Account ID:", connectedAccountId);
  functions.logger.log("Access Token:", accessToken);
  const connectedAccountResp = await axios.post(
    "https://api.stripe.com/v1/accounts",
    {
      type: "express", // or "express" based on your requirements
    },
    {
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
      },
    }
  );
  res.status(200).json({
    message: "Stripe account connected successfully!",
    connectedAccountId: connectedAccountId,
    createdAccount: connectedAccountResp.data,
  });
} catch (e) {
  res.status(500).json({ error: e.message });
}

});
});

OK, what's not working specifically?
