How did you create your Sandbox? Did you clone your existing Account?

winged pollen
#

Yes, I cloned the existing account. There were no connected accounts showing after sandbox creation. I had to create those separately.

rancid gorge
#

Okay and you are saying that the behavior doesn't match what we describe here:

Sandboxes and test mode ignore capability statuses. They allow an account to perform capability-dependent actions even when the associated capability’s status isn’t active.

wksp_test_6Sxrv53zSQ3nQwfkvaLEAjI this is the sandbox ID.

Okay yeah I dug into this with my colleague and unfortunately that blurb is missing some context. It's not true that we skip all capabilities. We only skip capabilites for local payment methods like Klarna or Swish

#

So you still need the basic capabilities like Transfers and Cards

winged pollen
#

oh alright

#

I guess can the docs be updated to be more clear then?

rancid gorge
#

I'm filing that feedback currently

winged pollen
#

Is there an API based method to forcibly update the capabilities in test mode to be active? I don't really have the onboarding front end done right now. I guess I could always just hack together some embedded components...

rancid gorge
#

Unfortunately we don't have a mechanism to force capabilities to be active. It requires at least a minimal onboarding. You can always generate Account Links yourself and just print out the URL so you can open the Stripe UI and click through it.

It's what I do when I need a fresh Connected Account.

winged pollen
#

does that work for accounts configured to use embedded dashboard components?

rancid gorge
#

Ah you mean where the Platform is responsible for collecting the required info?

#

I think it should still work.

#

Looking at the earlier step here it suggests taht as long as you have requested the capabilities and set the Account country, you should be okay.

winged pollen
#

yes

#

let me get the log

#

this was the request body

rancid gorge
#

Yep. So you should be fine using the Account Link approach

winged pollen
winged pollen
rancid gorge
#

No

#

I'm saying that the request above is enough to allow you to use Account Links to onboard the account you created

winged pollen
#

gotcha

rancid gorge
#

You asked if using Account Links would work for accounts that have no dashboard access

#

And we do allow Account Links for accounts with no dashboard access IF you specified the country and requested capabilities in the creation request.
