Hi 👋

These error messages mean that you are attempting to access a Stripe object on the wrong account

#

The request to /v1/refunds (https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_0c391usrQtrz2X) was made on the account acct_1GmLc7J4IokeiRsT but the Payment Intent (pi_3PTWYDH8cn3oh6tC0BIUeKuD) exists on account acct_1HTTKBH8cn3oh6tC

forest kettle Jul 1, 2024, 4:04 PM

#

Yes that's what I mentioned under "What have you already attempted?"

short tree Jul 1, 2024, 4:05 PM

#

So you need to make the requet on the right account

#

The payment intent exists on the platform account so that's where you need to make the request

forest kettle Jul 1, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

But I am using the platform's API key

#

Let me doube-check ...

short tree Jul 1, 2024, 4:07 PM

#

Oh, sorry I got the IDs mixed up.

#

This is a Standard account

#

You need to use the Stripe Account header on the Refund request

#

https://docs.stripe.com/connect/authentication

#

So the Payment Intent exists on the Connected Account (acct_1HTTKBH8cn3oh6tC) because the Checkout Session that created this request was made on the Connected Account https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_6AEQkO6dSjm9cA

#

Ah yes sorry ... I switched my integration from Standard to Express so older connected accounts are Standard

short tree Jul 1, 2024, 4:10 PM

#

Oh yeah, so likely you are making Destination Charges on the Express accounts and, in that case, the objects exist on the platform

#

Easy to mix those flows up

forest kettle Jul 1, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

Yes for standard accounts, I am using direct charges

short tree Jul 1, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

Yeah those are both the recommended flows for each account type

forest kettle Jul 1, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

OK if I add the header, will it cause refunds to payments made via Express connected accounts to fail?

#

... i.e. do I need to detect the type of connected account and conditionally add the header?

short tree Jul 1, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

I'm afraid so

forest kettle Jul 1, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

Hehe no worries

short tree Jul 1, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

But, on the plus side, once you get that logic in place you can switch back and forth depending on which account types suite your use case

forest kettle Jul 1, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

Yeah I'm not too worried ... it's like three lines of code 😅

short tree Jul 1, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

Nice 👍

forest kettle Jul 1, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

I am using the Node.js SDK and I'm looking at the docs ... how do I set the account header?

#

Oh I found it I think

short tree Jul 1, 2024, 4:18 PM

#

You should be able to set the language for the code snippets to Node

#

So you get something like this


const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create(
  {
    amount: 1000,
    currency: 'usd',
    automatic_payment_methods: {
      enabled: true,
    },
  },
  {
    stripeAccount: '{{CONNECTED_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
  }
);

#

The first object has the parameters for the API, the second contains headers

forest kettle Jul 1, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

Yep perfect!

#

Thanks so much!!! Love Stripe 💜
