I've received the following answer: Hi 👋 not from the API. You will need to send them through the OAuth onboarding flow again.

#

Hi again 👋 yup.

#

Do you have a follow-up question?

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 10:51 AM

#

Yes, I could use the same account with the same account_id?

#

Or I should always create a new Connect one

craggy crow Mar 20, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

I'm not sure I understand. OAuth is for connecting existing Stripe accounts to your Platform, you don't create Connected Accounts yourself with an OAuth flow.

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 10:52 AM

#

I'm using a test mode currently

#

I was using a Connected Stripe test account, then due to the bug we deauthorized it through an API call

#

Now, even if I login under the same email during Connect Flow, I cannot see the old Stripe Connect Account - it prompts me to create a new one.

#

Old Stripe Connect Account which was deauthorized - acct_1L144ARLotSK49I8

It looks like that account was originally created by an API request, and with how it was created it was designed to be controlled by a Platform. So I believe you aren't seeing the option to reconnect it due to this limitation around OAuth onboarding for a controlled account:
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/oauth-reference#:~:text=Starting in June 2021%2C Platforms using OAuth with read_write scope won’t be able to connect to accounts that are controlled by another platform

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:00 AM

#

Correct, it was created through an API request. So, how do I reconnect it?

#

I've read through the documentation you've sent and I don't seem to find an answer.

#

Have you tried to generate an Oauth and share it with that Standard Account and invite them to connect ?
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/oauth-reference

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:03 AM

#

Yes, I tried and I don't see this account among the options

#

#

And on the connected account itself I see the following message

#

Oh, maybe I could create account link for an existing account id in order to restore it

#

Because now I first create stripe.Account.create(type="standard") and then isssue an activation link for it

opaque scroll Mar 20, 2025, 11:17 AM

That could be an option yes

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:17 AM

#

I will inform you on the outcome 🙂

#

It responds me back with "You requested an account link for an account that is not connected to your platform or does not exist."

opaque scroll Mar 20, 2025, 11:32 AM

#

This is a test only Account right?

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:38 AM

#

Yes

#

Could you please relink it?

opaque scroll Mar 20, 2025, 11:41 AM

#

No I can't.

opaque scroll Mar 20, 2025, 11:41 AM

#

torn widget

Just to make sure you are doing the test correctly

#

You generated an oauth link from the Platform Account

#

Then you disconnected as a Platform and Connected as the standard Connect account

#

and then opened the oauth link ?

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:48 AM

#

No, I create it using stripe.Account.create(type="standard"). Then generated an activation link with stripe.AccountLink.create(
account=account_id,
refresh_url=refresh_url,
return_url=return_url,
type="account_onboarding",
)

#

I don't remember exactly how this particular account was generated, but it should've been generated as Standard

#

After the account was setup, I deauthorized it via stripe.OAuth.deauthorize(client_id=STRIPE_CLIENT_ID, stripe_user_id=account_id)

#

Now, when I try to create a link for already existing connect account: stripe.AccountLink.create(
account="acct_1L144ARLotSK49I8",
refresh_url=refresh_url,
return_url=return_url,
type="account_onboarding",
)

I get the following error: Request req_Rlfkg9mWd34HMl: You requested an account link for an account that is not connected to your platform or does not exist.

opaque scroll Mar 20, 2025, 11:51 AM

#

OK then in order to re-connect it

#

Are you following these steps:

You generated an oauth link from the Platform Account

Then you disconnected as a Platform and Connected as the standard Connect account

and then opened the oauth link ?

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:52 AM

#

Yes, as far as I understand

opaque scroll Mar 20, 2025, 11:53 AM

#

What is this account ?

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:53 AM

#

Just to clarify, how I create a new link:

stripe.Account.create(type="standard")
stripe.AccountLink.create(
account=account_id,
refresh_url=refresh_url,
return_url=return_url,
type="account_onboarding",
)

#

So account on the screenshot is an in-progress account I tried to create today

opaque scroll Mar 20, 2025, 11:54 AM

#

You need to create an Oauth link and not AccountLink

#

https://docs.stripe.com/connect/oauth-reference

#

In order to reconnect

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:55 AM

#

Oh, so to reconnect, it should be OAuth and for new account it should be AccountLink?

opaque scroll Mar 20, 2025, 11:55 AM

#

You need to disconnect from its Stripe Dashboard, and connect using the test Standard Account credentials

Yes

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:55 AM

#

Can this be unified or no?

opaque scroll Mar 20, 2025, 11:56 AM

#

For Standard Account, you can use Oauth for both cases

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 11:58 AM

#

Is there a documentation for available params in stripe.OAuth.authorize_url()?

coral anvilBOT Mar 20, 2025, 11:58 AM

#

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 12:02 PM

#

I've found them, but now it fails "Standard OAuth is disabled for this Stripe Connect integration. If you own this integration, you can enable the Standard OAuth flow in the Connect Settings page in your dashboard."

#

Seems, that in order to allow reconnection, I should enable it.

spiral lichen Mar 20, 2025, 12:08 PM

#

Where do you see this error exactly?

#

But yes, you have to enable it in your settings.

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 12:14 PM

#

I've seen it on the redirect url received from the authorization_url() call

#

Now I've completed the process. You comrades have helped me big time 🙂

#

Just FYI, I was messaged by a copy of os4m37 who tried to scam me

#

Please, add some kind of WARNING to the thread header

#

'Cause in the direct message all these Channel labeles are lost and it's hard to distinguish legit Support from scammers.

spiral lichen Mar 20, 2025, 12:18 PM

#

What's the exact user tag?

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 12:19 PM

#

duzza.jj

#

#

And the legit one looks almost exactly the same

#

I guess if they tried a bit harder and changed "About Me", it would be easier for them.

spiral lichen Mar 20, 2025, 12:24 PM

Thank you for reporting.

torn widget Mar 20, 2025, 12:26 PM

Thank you! Have a great day
