👋 Welcome to your new thread!

⏲️ We'll be here soon! We typically respond in a few minutes, but in some cases we might need a bit more time (e.g., server's busy, you've got a complex question, etc.).

⏱️ We close idle threads, which makes them read-only. Once a thread is closed it won't be reopened, but you can start a new thread if you have another question.

🔗 This thread will always be available, even after it's closed. You can find it again using Discord's search, or you can save this link: https://discord.com/channels/841573134531821608/1253695255371579394

Can you share the GET request id where you don't see business type

Above id is the creation request

[novel locust]

Sorry, my bad! Was looking in the wrong place. The data is not in the GET request that I need or the logs (as you pointed out it was the account creation that included this). The CLI tool which I was making requests to the API doesn't seem to leave any logs

I'm using the new beta CLI to test requests

Got one! req_YN8nkPrN7dMVpV

[solar olive]

Ah ok I think you need to make the request in live mode

Test api keys hide some fields

[novel locust]

Are you sure that would get the data? According to the docs here I would need a custom account: https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/object#account_object-business_type

This field seems to be inaccessible to Express accounts, so I was wondering if there was an alternative path or to make it work would I need to create the entire custom app (which is something I definitely don't want to do)

[solar olive]

Ah seems like you're right

[novel locust]

So there is no way to tell if the express account is Individual/Business with an Express account? Or a way that the Tax product can tell me the appropriate way to tax the account?

[solar olive]

Doesn't look like it unfortunately. Seems to be some sort of kyc restriction

We don't know a ton about account onboarding/kyc in here though

Is this for existing accounts or are you building a new integration?

Because if you're building a new integration, I reocmmend just storing this up-front in your database when creating the accounts

[novel locust]

I'm building a new integration. The issue is then we don't know if the user changes the data in their Stripe account. But yes, we will proceed with saving the data

Thanks!

[solar olive]

Ah but only custom accounts can change their business type: https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update#update_account-business_type

So shouldn't be an issue if you're using Express

[novel locust]

We were able to update it while onboarding that's why we found it concerning. We send the data but still can change it
