Clone live connect express, subscription, and invoice data into test mode? I can do my best replicating with test clocks but it’s not ideal.
Yeah, you need to create all these using direct APIs, there is no such a mechanisme for cloning live data into test/sandbox

Create verified connect express accounts in test mode without manually going through the onboarding form?
You can use API completly to have a fully onboarded account but it's available for Custom Accounts

Between for e2e tests you should mock Stripe Part, your tests needs to be focused on the part you own and not external components

But it's possible to have this all set using APIs I think

I see, any drawbacks to using test clocks? I remember certain objects are deleted after test clocks are deleted? Any problems with just keeping tests clocks there without cleanup?

[tropic gazelle]

Between, here are the test helpers:

Thanks for the e2e help! If we would rather not mock stripes part, is the only option manually creating express accounts?

[tropic gazelle]

Yes it's possible to keep the tests there, but curious to understand the reasoning behind? You should clean your data after each automatic tests.

[fathom spoke]

We really only need to enable transfers for our plans. Meaning just accepting ToS. Can that be done thru the api or just custom?

[tropic gazelle]

Yes, but I think you'll probably face issues to fully onboard the connect as it requires account links and UI interaction to fill the data needed

[fathom spoke]

Ahh no I was just curious about the behavior because when we manually test, we have to update our database customer ids

[tropic gazelle]

Maybe, I'm not sure honestly for Express Account, maybe it's worth to give it a try...

[fathom spoke]

Got it, Thanks for the help!

Have a great day

Happy to help!
