HI 👋

We don't have any specific recommendations. Directors and owners would be created with the Person API and added to the Account so I think your approach sounds correct.

That's great. I was just thinking about it and I'll go with the way I mentioned. Would it be okay if I send the account id back to the client then create the directors? Is it sensitive information?

#

The account ID itself is not sensitive but it might be confusing to the users.

versed kiln Feb 13, 2025, 5:45 PM

#

Right. I will store it on the device without them seeing it. Then I'll create the directors one by one or should I send a json array with all of them?

#

You can only create one person at a time, if that's what you mean.

#

But you should test out your integration and, as long as the Stripe APIs return successfully, you should tailor your approach to fit your user journey and business model

Yes I'm getting familiar with the Stripe Node api and docs. I'm currently building a marketplace for tradespeople. Thanks again @minor badge

Have you checked out Stripe Sandboxes? It allows you to create customized Test mode only accounts so you can build out complex simulations without affecting your Live mode account. When you are done, you can delete that sandbox. Given what you are building, I recommend utilizing Sandboxes to allow you to build complex end-to-end simulations to ensure all the parts of your application work as you expect.

I'm testing my integration in test mode using the secret test key provided by the Stripe dashboard. The sandbox feature is in developer preview. Is it ready to be used? What is the difference?

minor badge Feb 13, 2025, 6:00 PM

#

The difference is that it's a separate Account ID with unique publishable and secret keys. You can also configure it to have different account settings than your actual Stripe Account, which can allow you to try out different configurations without changing the settings on your actual Stripe Account.

Alright. I'll take a look.
