Hello
terse topaz
hi!
karmic ember
You want to follow https://docs.stripe.com/connect/oauth-standard-accounts
We don't recommend that folks use this flow anymore when creating new accounts so the docs are now a bit hidden. But if you are connecting already-existing accounts then this is the correct way to accomplish that.

i did and when i go to connect w stripe (the purple button) it shows u either the onboarding option if u have no acct or logged out or thea bility to connect if u are logged in
but the scopes seem to be two (read or write)
instead of fine grained w the ability to define them
like when u are publishing an app
karmic ember
Yeah Connect OAuth doesn't support scope beyond those two options. It doesn't work the same as with Stripe Apps. You want read_write here if you are going to be making requests on these accounts.

i see. so i can with this, for example, create a portal session given the customer id of a user of a connected business?
karmic ember
Yes
terse topaz
great!
and one more question. to test this, how can i do it? should i create an acct w connect like previously mentioned or is there a more straightforward way?
karmic ember
Yes you would create a test account and connect that to your platform
terse topaz
okay. thanks a lot
