Hi there
dire kite
Hello
ionic oyster
If you're in test mode, you should use one of the test bank account numbers listed here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/testing#account-numbers
Do you have a request ID for your call to create an external account?
dire kite
thanks, yes I tried the test bank account numbers, and they are added to the account immediately
my question is that in prod, live mode, is it the same behaviour?
or does Stripe have some kind of bank account validation process during the api call to add the bank account to the connected account
ionic oyster
We recommend adding validation yourself, based on the bank account formats listed here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/payouts-bank-accounts?bank-account-collection-integration=direct-api&bank-account-collection-method=manual-entry
This is assuming you're collecting bank account details yourself versus using hosted onboarding
dire kite
what's Connect Onboarding web form
ionic oyster
dire kite
I'm creating custom accounts and handle onboarding within my platform, then this option is not possible right?
ionic oyster
With Custom accounts, you can either create your own onboarding flow or use hosted onboarding, you can't use both.
dire kite
so with custom accounts, how should the "add external account flow" work from frontend to backend?
I saw there's a create bank account token in Stripe API, but I don't see one in Stripe sdk. How should frontend pass bank account information like routing # and account # to backend securely?
ionic oyster
You can use createToken on the frontend to create a token and pass this to your backend: https://docs.stripe.com/js/tokens/create_token?type=bank_account
dire kite
We are using react native, seems like It's only limited to card type https://stripe.dev/stripe-react-native/api-reference/modules/Token.html#CreateCardTokenParams
ionic oyster
Hm, no, I think you might be misreading this. Token type can be one of these: https://stripe.dev/stripe-react-native/api-reference/modules/Token.html#Type
And you'd use this if you're working with bank_account: https://stripe.dev/stripe-react-native/api-reference/modules/Token.html#CreateBankAccountTokenParams
