Hi! No it is not optional. You can check the required information here: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/required-verification-information

They refer to these properties of the account:

#

https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/object#account_object-tos_acceptance

#

It's basically the IP address from which the user accepted the terms of services and the date they accepted it on.

#

#

How are you planning on doing the onboarding? Are you planning on using the API or hosted onboarding? With hosted onboarding this will be automatically collected.

using API

latent galleon Jul 21, 2025, 6:28 AM

#

Ah sorry, you are referring to the connected account's website.

#

Just a moment.

#

I am also weighing between Express & Custom. If I am not wrong, Custom is completely API based, right?

It looks like you can provide hteir produc description instead of the website if they don't have one: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/hosted-onboarding#prefill-information
However, they can also provide other options like social media profile.

I am also weighing between Express & Custom. If I am not wrong, Custom is completely API based, right?

It is based on API but you can use hosted onboarding for custom accounts as well.

#

as far as onboarding is concerned, is there any difference between Express & Custom if using hosted onboarding?

#

and can we pre-populate all these information?

latent galleon Jul 21, 2025, 6:37 AM

#

There shouldn't be any difference between Express & Custom if using hosted onboarding. However, do note that this channel is for API related queries so I can't be too sure about onboarding interfaces.

#

You can pre-populate information when creating the account via API.
