https://docs.stripe.com/connect/oauth-reference you can use OAuth flow to connect an existing Stripe account to your account.

Shoud I use OAuth to connect my account (platform) to our clients' account (also a platform)?
How can I do it programmatically?
lethal trail
Please refer to the link that I shared earlier.

I'm trying to execute the authorize request with my client ID but it fails with the response:
No application matches the supplied client identifier
The request is: https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=acct_****************&response_type=code where the * are modified for this thread
lethal trail
did you use the client_id found in https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/applications/settings ?
sharp briar
Yes I did.
Should I attach the API key for this request?

Could you please share the Request ID req_xxx? https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
rugged vale
What do you mean by "attach" exactly? Where?
sharp briar
I have sent the request unauthenticated
So I wonder why should I see the request in the logs?
rugged vale
No, you don't need to add your API key to the OAuth link.

I see what you're attaching here is account ID (acct_xxx), not client ID ca_xxx
You can find your client ID here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/settings/connect/onboarding-options/oauth
sharp briar
thank you, it worked
I see that I can enter my business email, but only through the UI.
Is it possible to automate it using API only?
rugged vale
No, you can't modify existing accounts via API.
sharp briar
I don't want to modify, I want to connect my platform account to my client's platform account
rugged vale
I am not sure I understand, what do you want to do with the business email?
sharp briar
I want to register my account as a connected account on another platform, without manual handling, all automatic with API
rugged vale
Connecting an existing Stripe account to a Platform should be a matter of a few clicks, but it can't be done completely automatically, since the owner of the account need to give an explicit permission for that.
sharp briar
I see.
Can you think of another way to transfer funds (collect fees) as a platform from other platforms without exposing all of our business account data?

rugged vale
Well, you have to share some business information with the other party to move funds, otherwise there is high risk of fraud.
