I know, that's what I'm trying to move away from.

the current recommended flow is to create the account via API and use an Account Link to complete the onboarding process

Using Connect with Express connected accounts

Express connected accounts enable your platform to manage payout schedules, customize the flow of funds, and control branding. Stripe handles onboarding, account management, and identity verification.

#

the API keys, refresh token and access token are not required

instead you should use Connect Authentication to make API calls on behalf of your connected accounts, after they've been onboarded

Learn how to add the right information to your API calls so you can make calls for your connected accounts.

I wondered if that might be the case. Cool, thanks.
