@river rune Unfortunately we don't have much context on this change. I would recommend working directly with Spreedly for help, they have direct contacts at Stripe too and can help you work through this. But we can't really talk about what you have been told as we are not involved in this I'm sorry for the runaround
river rune
hmm, ok..forget Spreedly. Just for establishing a RAK on a Connected account. Can I do that as the platform account?
or can that only be done by Connected account holder?
late trail
Unfortunately Spreedly is actively relevant here and changes the answer completely, hence my redirect.
But no, you as a platform can not create a RAK on a connected account
river rune
got it. and it's generated via the UI, correct. No programatic means to create one?
late trail
Correct and you as a platform can't do it in the UI either
river rune
last question... in theory, if I establish a RAK on our platform and we're passing stripe account_id in API calls so that we're operating "on behalf" of the connected account, could we not establish a RAK for our platform and then still everything would work still? Even when creating payments on behalf of the connected account?
late trail
Same disclaimer as earlier: It really depends on what Spreedly is changing and I can't talk to that I'm sorry. It's a lot more subtle than you think.
But sure, if you control and fully host the code (as in your connected accounts don't run the code), then yes you can create your own RAK with Connect permissions and have Spreedly/your local code use this.
Conceptually it's not different from giving them your Secret API key if you ask me (I did give that feedback internally myself multiple times)
river rune
ok, thanks. This was helpful. Have a good one!
late trail
Make sure to talk to Spreedly and Stripe about this. What you want is an API to create RAK which we definitely want to build, we just haven't prioritized it yet
river rune
ok
