Hi! What kind of Stripe Account are you creating?
cosmic geode
Cool cool. You need to create an Account Link for them: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/standard-accounts#create-link

Oh interesting OK
My use case is a little challenging. Can I describe it to make sure it will still work?
I have users creating accounts for restaurants on my platform. The restaurants don't have accounts on my platform when the Stripe account is created
I see the docs say to never email/text the account link
cosmic geode
At some point they click a button that executes on "please create me a connected Stripe account" right?
And you're creating it, right?
And then they land back on your site?
sage skiff
Well... the users have the contact info for the restaurants (including name and email of the account owner)
So the user is creating the restaurant
Oh well actually I create a restaurant account on my platform when the Stripe account is created
So I could store the account link to their profile
And they could access it when they first login
That would work, right? Is there an expiration on the account link?
It could be a week or 10 days after their account is created before they go through the onboarding process
sage skiff
There's no expiration on the link?
cosmic geode
... it would be better to wait until their first login, and then create the link and tell them to go there and finish the Stripe stuff.
(I think it expires)
sage skiff
OK. I assumed it would but the docs don't seem to mention anything
Well there's this
The link expired (a few minutes went by since the link was created)
It really expires after a few minutes?
It's not very clear
cosmic geode
Ya, it's meant to be created when needed - so, like, when the user clicks the "Click here to finish onboarding with Stripe" link that you're going to add to create the link and then redirect them to it. 🤪
sage skiff
Got it ok
cosmic geode
Or even: "Click here to login to Stripe"
sage skiff
Yeah this is starting to make more sense
cosmic geode
Actually, the first one makes more sense. After that they can just go to dashboard.stripe.com to access their Stripe stuff.
sage skiff
Sorry - which first one haha
cosmic geode
Sorry. 😂 "Click here to finish onboarding with Stripe" during their first time logging in (or whenever makes sense in your app).
