I suppose one thing to head-check up front: I have been doing this without a customer simply because no customer really exists for the connected account I create. Is that the issue here? Am I required to create a Customer in order to use Financial Connections? Can I just create an arbitrary customer and work with that?

Hi 👋 I don't think a Customer is needed here. Offhand I'm thinking this guide may be wrong. Right now the Payment Method is being created on the Platform account, and then can't be used by requests made by your Connected Account, I'm pretty sure.

If you drop the stripeAccount header from the request to create the Token and External Account, do you stop seeing errors?
The steps starting here:
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/payouts-bank-accounts?bank-account-collection-integration=direct-api&lang=node&shell=true&api=true#create-an-external-payouts-account

Hmmm one sec

#

I don't think that's right. Once the FinancialConnections UI is run and completes I DO end up with a FinancialConnections account ("fca_xxxxxx") and a FinancialAccount ("fa_xxxxx") both of which can be accessed via the API for that connected account.

#

The SetupIntent I create is created on behalf of the connected account which I believe should result in the PaymentMethod being setup on the connected account right?

#

Lemme experiment with removing those headers tho

The SetupIntent I create is created on behalf of the connected account
Can you elaborate on this? I didn't see the use of either on_behalf_of or the stripeAccount header in the guide for creating the Setup Intent.

I am creating the SetupIntent as :

params := &stripe.SetupIntentParams{
        AttachToSelf: stripe.Bool(false),
        FlowDirections: []*string{
          stripe.String(string(stripe.SetupIntentFlowDirectionOutbound)),
          stripe.String(string(stripe.SetupIntentFlowDirectionInbound)),
        },
        PaymentMethodTypes: []*string{stripe.String("us_bank_account")},
    };

    params.SetStripeAccount(acct.ID)

This is in Go. params.SetStripeAccount() sets the account header to the connected account. Which seems to work since the FinancialAccount is created in the connected account after the Financial Connections UI runs.

Oh, hm, that's not what I'm seeing in the guide. Is that what you've been doing the entire time, or did you change that after we started chatting?

keen skiff
#

It's been that way from the start

#

I suppose I could try taking the connected account out of the flow entirely and try setting something up against the root account. Gimme a second

delicate owl
#

Yeah, I'd start by trying to follow the guide verbatim, and then make adjustments only if that doesn't work.

keen skiff
#

So that does work. If I create the SetupIntent without the connected account involved I can tokenize the resulting payment method. Lemme see if I can actually attach that to a connected account tho.

#

Oh great!!!

#

That totally worked

#

Thank you so much

delicate owl

Woohoo! Glad to hear you were able to get that sorted out
