I'm assuming by Merchant you're referring to the Connected Account right?
west venture
yes
how do I parse the account?
I mean, can I get an example of the account object?
dusky trellis
We have an example in the docs [0]
west venture
is it possible to trigger an event using the stripe cli which includes an associated account?
dusky trellis
What are looking to achieve? Are you to retrieve an account object once you identified the account from the webhook event you receive?
west venture
yes
dusky trellis
Best bet is to retrieve the account via the API [0]
west venture
ok, but how do i get the account from the event received from the webhook? is it just stripeEvent.account?
where stripeEvent is Stripe.Event?
dusky trellis
account is a top-level property of the webhook event so it should be stripeEvent.account
west venture
and this will give me the account id? such as acct_1QWpZVR7Vqz3zJ8D
dusky trellis
Yes, it should give you the connected account ID [0].
