Hello
Please provide detailed information. Copy pasting the same text in all the text field isn't helpful at all
rustic rock
yeah sorry, was about to do that
if i use this endpoint https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_method_configurations
and list the PMCs of our connected account, i get 2 objects on the list
one with application field and one without
none of them reflect what stripe dashboard shows
for example:
this is one of our connected account: acct_1NKeo4R9O4MIU0jT
if i list PMCs for this account, i get two objects
for LINK, one shows: {
available: false,
display_preference: { overridable: null, preference: 'off', value: 'off' }
}
and the other: {
available: true,
display_preference: { overridable: true, preference: 'on', value: 'on' }
}
and for google pay, the exact oposite, hence, none of these objects show me what i see in stripe dash

You probably also have a payment method configuration as a platform which is being returned with the API request..
Give me a moment to look
rustic rock
thanks
vivid panther
can you share the complete objects you're getting back from the API?
vivid panther
Since you allow connected accounts to customise their own pamyent methods - there are two payment method configurations
- The one that connected account configures for itself (this is the one without
applicationparam) - The one that platform configures for connected account (this is the one with
applicationparam)
In the second object, you also see a parent field which points to pmc_1NJeABJFieew03j4Bn4d1RlT which exists on platform
rustic rock
gotcha, but why the application one shows LINK available and ON and the stripe dashboard shows OFF ?
vivid panther
Connected account config is pmc_1Q5B65R9O4MIU0jTLh3ftGiF where link is off

rustic rock
so i should be looking at the one with application: null ? 🤔
whats the other one for?
vivid panther
Depends on your usecase.. If you only want to render the payment methods that your connected account enables then yeah you should be looking at the one where application is null
You get to choose
which payment method configuration you want to use

Let's take an example.. You are a connect platform.. Let say you're account A and you have a connected account B..
As a platform, account A can configure the payment method types that are offered in connect payment scenarios which is what pmc_1NJeABJFieew03j4Bn4d1RlT is.
application is the bridge between account A and account B. With pmc_1NJeABJFieew03j4Bn4d1RlT you are technically configuring the payment methods that will be enabled on account B.
Now, as per my first screenshot above, you as a platform (account A) allow connected account (account B) to manage their own payment method types which override what pmc_1NJeABJFieew03j4Bn4d1RlT sets..
pmc_1Q5B65R9O4MIU0jTLh3ftGiF is that override..
So to summarise,
the payment method configuration with application field is configured by platform (account A)
the payment method confirmation with application: null is configured by connected account itself (account B)
rustic rock
that makes sense but i dont get why there are 3 configurations here.
pmc_1NJeABJFieew03j4Bn4d1RlT is the parent, the platform config. i get that
pmc_1Q5B65R9O4MIU0jTLh3ftGiF is the override for that CA
so what is pmc_1NKesFR9O4MIU0jTZ02wCcUW ?
vivid panther
since pmc_1NJeABJFieew03j4Bn4d1RlT object is owned by Platform account - we create a copy of it on the connected account which is pmc_1NKesFR9O4MIU0jTZ02wCcUW
So you can think of it as an object owned by connected account which inherits configs pmc_1NJeABJFieew03j4Bn4d1RlT
