Hello

Hey
torn sierra
Looks like you aren't specifying collection_options (https://docs.stripe.com/api/account_links/create#create_account_link-collection_options) so it is already collecting the minimum required fields here (the currently_due ones)
So in this case then there isn't a way for the full SSN to not be requested as it is determined to be required here
compact sleet
That's correct, I am not specifying the collection_options .. so it must be using the default value i.e. currently_due.
If I specify the collection_options and use eventually_due value, will it change this behavour .. and will it then only ask to enter the last 4 digits?
torn sierra
No, it would collect more information, not less.
compact sleet
okay. So, is there any way so that users will have to enter only last 4 digits of SSN?
I was checking this doc here - https://support.stripe.com/questions/2024-updates-to-us-verification-requirements-faq#:~:text=SSN or ITIN for US,to upload an ID document.
it says - "Last four digits required at onboarding for all connected account types." and then ... "If the last four digits fail verification, representatives will need to provide all nine digits."
torn sierra
Yeah it mostly depends on what the user enters during the onboarding process and then whether their initial 4 digit SSN verification succeeds or fails if that 4 digit is acceptable
You can see the different requirements at https://docs.stripe.com/connect/required-verification-information
But mostly there is nothing for you to change here
You are already collecting the minimum
compact sleet
hmm .. okay. But it my case, it asks me to enter the full 9 digits at the first place. It doesn't give that option to enter lasst 4 digits and verify first.
torn sierra
Yeah but that depends on the type of accounts that are being created
And what designations they choose before SSN is collected
Overall this is all optimized already
There are many different paths
If you think it is incorrect for the information it is collecting in the actual onboarding flow then you can reach out to our Support team with a specific example that they can look at -- but I can't really help further with that as we just focus on the API here.
compact sleet
okay, thank you!
