👋 happy to help
okay, thank you
so in my application onboarding flow, i have already verified users using the identity verification api, but later in the flow i need to create a stripe connect account for them,
and we know that stripe connect account also involves identity verification which has already been done, so how do i avoid my users doing 2 identity verification
unique glacier
are you creating custom connected accounts?
long leaf
no, i am creating an express account
unique glacier
why are you using the identity verification before onboarding?
long leaf
so actually, the stripe connect was not in our flow initially,
we just added it, we only wanted to verify customers initially
long leaf
yes, just to verify them
unique glacier
and now you want to onboard merchants whose identities have been already verified as customers
long leaf
yes, to be precise, i want to create a stripe express connect account for them
unique glacier
unfortunately that won't be possible since these are 2 separate flows
long leaf
okay, so you suggest i just create a stripe connect account from the get go which will then involve identity verification
unique glacier
yes it's easier to create a customer for a known connected account then the other way around

for clarity, so i need to create a stripe connect account first, of which this process verifies their identity.
not that i have to verify their identity first and then create a stripe account.
this just need your confirmation, so i can go ahead

hi @unique glacier are you there
mighty meadow
you would use Connect and do the verification as part of that yes, not in a separate Identity session
long leaf
thank you @mighty meadow
long leaf
hi, i am aware that there is a UI hook in react native that helps handle identity verification which is useStripeIdentity hook, is there any one for onboarding connect account
mighty meadow
for Connect you would use our hosted onboarding or embedded components.
there is not a native React Native integration today, you would build this on a web page

thank you very much @mighty meadow
