Hi there 👋 you would track this on your end. Once you create the Account object for your user, you would log what the ID of that Account is and continue to use it when your user returns to your flows.
lethal marten
you mean the stripeID?
pastel storm
I don't know what you're referring to by "stripeID", that's not a term in our ecosystem.
Do you have an example of one of those IDs that you can share?
lethal marten
in the url
that is auto generated and saved in the database linked to your (domits) userID
pastel storm
That is the id of an Account object:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/object
What do you mean by auto generated? Are you using OAuth for your Connect onboarding, or are you making requests to create Account objects and then creating Account Links for them?
lethal marten
are you famillair with aws lambda? because i want to send a screen of it and maybe that become more clear
pastel storm
I have a rough understanding of what they are, but it's not what we specialize in working with so I don't know how much insight I'll be able to get from it.
lethal marten
its an api call with nodeJS
this is what we use as our backend and activate the api through front end (React)
pastel storm
const account = await stripe.accounts.create()
You're creating the Account objects
Then creating Account Links for them.
So you'd track that you already created a Stripe Account for your user. Then if they return to your flow you just create a new Account Link for them using the previously created Account's ID, rather than creating a new Account and Account Link.

wait i dont quite understand what you mean. I have made an issue overview of the problem which i couldnt share in the question form before entering this chat. And maybe this will make the situation more clear:
pastel storm
What is the "Set up zPayment" button? Is that a button that you built and put on your page? Is that the one that creates the Account object from the code that you shared earlier?
pastel storm
Do you have logic on that button to check your database for whether your user already had a Stripe account created?
lethal marten
yeah we do
pastel storm
I'd suggest double checking that then. It sounds to me like your code isn't detecting that your user already has a record in your database, then makes a request to us to create a new Account.
lethal marten
i made a sort of function for that but instead of letting me redirect to the same page it blocks it unless it makes a new accID
so lets say the user is in the middle of the stripe connect proces through Domits and it accidentally clsoes the page , then its accID is saved in the database and then again is able to go to the connect page with a new accID because for some reason it blocks the user to enter the connect page if you paste the same url again.
pastel storm
You don't send them the same URL. You create a new Account Link for them and direct them there.
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/express-accounts#handle-users-not-completed-onboarding
(Not a new Account, just a new Account Link that is created by providing the ID of the existing Account object you created for the user previously)
pastel storm
Account Link URLs are single-use, you have to generate a new one if the previous one was accessed.
lethal marten
now i get it
and one more question we have now multiple profiles in express but how do we delete them?
pastel storm
Something to be mindful of, is that your user will be directed to the refresh_url you provide when creating the Account Link if the link is expired. So you'll want to make sure the logic on that URL isn't also creating new Account objects.
https://docs.stripe.com/api/account_links/create#create_account_link-refresh_url
You can use this endpoint to delete testmode Connected Accounts:
https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/delete
