Hi there 👋 is that a Connected Account that you created through the dashboard?

[broken river]

Yes. I created a platform account, and generated an onboarding link where i created a connected account.

My previous question from today was, is there an possibility through the API to disconnect the platform account and connected account so that connected account is not deleted as https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/delete does.

[near siren]

Gotcha. My teammates and I in this forum aren't quite as familiar with the dashboard side of these flows, we focus more on the API in these scenarios.

I believe you're seeing that though because the dashboard uses our OAuth flow when creating test Connected Accounts. Accounts connected in that fasion can be disconnected from the Platform using the steps shown here:
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/oauth-reference#post-deauthorize

If you are creating the Connected Accounts via the API rather than connecting existing Accounts, then deleting the Account is the right action to take.

[broken river]

Hmm. So from the steps, i used https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/create to create an account and then used https://docs.stripe.com/api/account_links/create to create an account link. That gave me the link like in the docs for the onboarding where i created the connected account. After i went trough all the steps, the connected accout appeard on the dashboard for the platform account, and i was able to disconnect it like in the pictures. So not sure what am i missing if i am missing anything 😆

Also about the deletion of the account. It appears it really deletes the connected account and not just disconnecting it?

Correct yes because in the flow of creating an Account and onboarding via an Account Link that account is bound to only your platform (it cannot be used independently)

[broken river]

But it can be reused for some other platform account not in any connection to the first one?

[trim sparrow]

No

1:1 relationship if your platform creates and onboards the acct_xxx ID directly (not via OAuth)

[broken river]

I created a separate test platform account and generated a different onbaording link. When entering the same email address in prompted me an option to select already saved information.

So from you inputs, that would be a different account, but for the same email/profile?

[trim sparrow]

You can re-use account onboarding info for KYC requirements (which is what that UI is facilitating), but it'd still be a different, unique acct_xxx that is ultimately connected
