Hi there, did you create this sandbox account in your account (i.e., platform) ?
Ok, is it about a connected account that created in your sandbox account?
Hello
It’s for the connected account named Voyager
We first created this real account
OK. Just to clarify, so you want to invite your members to the sandbox account? (i.e., acct_1Q8nLfIEeIH1gPwZ)
And then realized we couldn’t use Test mode for things like Event Destinations so switched to using Sandbox
We would like to sign into the Sandbox account ending in SpiY
So that we can see exactly what our merchant customer will see
OK. Just to clarify, so you want to invite your members to the sandbox account? (i.e., acct_1Q8nLfIEeIH1gPwZ)
How?
- Login to your Stripe Dashboard
- Switch to Sandbox
- go to https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/settings/team and invite
Won’t that just invite members to the Platform account ?
I need to invite to the connected merchant account
You need to firstly switch to sandbox first, so that you can invite memebrs to your sandbox account
Do you know how to switch to sandbox?
Yes
The request ID i providdd is for a payment intent in the sandbox
I was able to setup the sandbox Apple pay domain name so Apple Pay is working in the sandbox
But haven’t figured out how to invite “merchant users”.
OK. Let's do it again
Switch to your sandbox (https://docs.stripe.com/sandboxes/dashboard/manage#view-a-sandbox)
- Click Sandboxes in the Dashboard account picker.
- Click Open to enter the sandbox.
Once you are in the sandbox, visit https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/settings/team to invite your memebers to sandbox
I will follow your steps and see. In the meantime, can you see this short screen recording I made to try and better explain what I am trying to do: https://www.loom.com/share/20e5446a4ee54fbe815bc3c71e6cebd6?sid=b586bfaa-d371-4cb9-8fb9-bee36fe7fd9b ?
Ok I tried those steps and I end up in the same place as I show in the video. The Platform's "Team and security" page.
OK we have a misunderstanding here. You want to invite your members to express account created in your sandbox account.
Express account doesn't have a "invite member" feature, you should create login link (https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/login_link/create) for your member to access the Express account Dashboard.
Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.
I would like to invite them to the connected merchant account. Not the connected platform account.
Do you mean this invite is only possible via API instead of the web app?
As I said, there's no invite feature for express account. But you can create login link (see the link that I shared earlier) to let your member access the express account dashboard.
Interesting. Because when not using the sandbox I can sign in to the Connected Merchant account.
With the credentials that I set at the time of receing the invite to setup the Connect account.
Now that the account already exists, I can still create these login links?
But that's different from "inviting a new member", isn't it?
Yes you can create login link, refer to the API reference.
ok great, will check it out. This is all very new/different from Connect Standard.
And we're used to Test Mode, so things go a whole other level with sandboxes now
Yes you are right, Standard account has full Dashboard access (including invite members), but Express account doesn't.
it's a bit confusing having both Test mode and Sandboxes.
Maybe Test mode will be deprecated?
Can we disable or hide test mode completely so we only use sandboxes?
Can you elaborate more about the confusion? I'd like to hear more about it and feed back to the product team.
Putting sandboxes aside, as a Platform you can invite merchants in Live or Test mode. Let's say you invite a merchant in Live mode, you can still now operate as the connected merchant in Test mode.
So just alone in the legacy system you can have multiple levels of live/test between the Platform and Connected Merchant.
Now you can add any unlimited number of sandboxes, which is nice.
And that sandbox is it's very own instance of the platform and connected accounts.
It just has a lot of dimensions and possibliities.
Removing the abilty to toggle into Test mode would help not accidentally ending up in the wrong place.
For example, we initially went through and did a bunch of configuration in the Test mode (because we knows this well).
But then we had to abandon everything we did in Test mode because AWS Event Destinations (new feature, not fully released yet to the public) are not supported in Test Mode... only in Sanbox mode.
It's hard to explain... that may not have made a lot of sense lol.
I see, so you didn't know that some features require sandbox, and you made the configuration in test mode. And now you need to do it again in sandbox
yes
and the Test mode toggle is up at the top of the screen teasing us... inviting itself to be used.
That's a great feedback. Thank you! I'll let the product team know about it.
So ideally the test mode button and sandbox should be at the same level of discoverability
Maybe you can ask Product to consider giving the Connect account the ability to hide Test mode if the Platform (or merchant if not a Connect scenario) is ready to fully make the switch (to sandbox)
now I know more because I spent this time with you, but the rest of my team is still operating on legacy Test mode knowledge.
well, thanks for your help. Will try those login links.
For what it'sd worth, Discord support remains superior to submitting the web form!
thanks
