@soft stratus what exact doc are you following and can you share your exact code, how you reproduce and what the response look like? Because you say it's null but then you get an array of accounts so I'm not really following your train of thought

#

Sorry, let me see if I can be more clear.

#

https://docs.stripe.com/js/financial_connections/collect_bank_account_token

#

so, first I'm creating a financial connections session in my API layer

#

Which exact end to end doc are you following? Because this is not really a main doc and if you are migrating entirely it's best to start with the most common integration path

soft stratus May 6, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

Without being offensive, It has been really hard to find an end to end doc that fits our use case

#

No offense at all, I kinda agree with you 🙂

#

So let's take a step back because you likely went down the wrong rabbit hole/path.
What are you really trying to do right now? Just accept a payment from someone using FinancialConnections and nothing else? Or offer FinancialConnections and other payment methods like card and such?

#

The flow we're trying to replace is something like this:

User is presented with an invoice on our platform
User selects they want to pay it with ACH
User is hooked up with a plaid modal that looks remarkably like your stripe ACH modal
User selects their bank account, we get a token back from plaid
We add the token to the user's stripe customer, and attempt to pay the invoice

#

We have a separate card flow that seems to transition to payment intents / payment methods much more easily.

#

Does that clarify the matter at all?

#

It does help a bit but: have you considered just offering all payment methods in the same UI?
It would drastically simplify your integration really

soft stratus May 6, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

I hadn't considered it mostly because I was attempting to do a 1 to 1 conversion, but... I am quite willing to.

median pollen May 6, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

Have you seen https://docs.stripe.com/payments/payment-element?

#

That offers all payment method types you want to support and that includes FinancialConnections for ACH Debit to replace plaid. It works with Invoices and would be such a simpler integration for you

soft stratus May 6, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

Hmmm, okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the redirect!

#

Would it allow users to select previously added payment methods?

median pollen May 6, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

It doesn't by default though you can build that UI easily. We also have an ongoing beta for that exact feature inside PaymentElement which you can get access to by emailing payment-element-beta@stripe.com

soft stratus May 6, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

Okay, well I will take a look. Thanks for helping us move... closer... to the current API.
