Strange thin is, when I go to the test connect view, I see this:
halcyon wave
hi there!
halcyon wave
having a look
grave hazel
Thank you 🙂
I use OAuth to connect an account, as my customers mostly already have a Stripe Account
halcyon wave
this request req_MgCYr8RWKKIOjm was made in test mode, but for a connected account that only works in live mode. so it's expected not to work.
since the account is in live mode, then use your live API key to make the request.
grave hazel
That does not work, as the connection is only available in test mode^^ THis is the error I get when trying to access the account in live mode
Request ID req_WwKerBZYEiwJeN?t=1721218146
As I said, I can create subscriptions/customers/products/etc. via the api in test mode. The only thing not working is the account_session thingy
halcyon wave
yep I understand. this is odd... give me a few minutes.
grave hazel
Thank you very much!

👋 taking over for my colleague.
grave hazel
All right, hi tarzan 🙂
twilit haven
qq how did you create the connect account in question
grave hazel
Via OAuth. The customer receives a link leading him to a Stripe page where he can choose his account in order to connect it with the platform account
twilit haven
was it an existing account? or did they create one with the OAuth link you sent them?
grave hazel
It was an existing account
twilit haven
in that case you can't really create an Account Session for them
their onboarding is managed by Stripe and not by your platform
grave hazel
Okay.. so this is only available for custom/express accounts? Or accounts in general that have been created via the API?
Is there an other option to use embedded connect elements in my case?
twilit haven
it's not matter of how you provide onboarding, it's whether the platform or Stipe is responsible of the onboarding process
so for a platform only the accounts that you create via API can be used with Account Links or Account Sessions
grave hazel
Got it. So it's not possible to use Connect Elements in that case?
twilit haven
yes that's correct
grave hazel
All right, too bad.. But thank you very mich for your help! That would have been an important information for your docs 😄 And the API response is a little bit missleading.. Just as a short feedback here 🙂
twilit haven
you're right! and I will flag it internally
grave hazel
Great! Thank you Tarzan. Have a nice day 🙂
