hi there!

#

can you set type: account_onboarding when creating the Account Link? https://docs.stripe.com/api/account_links/create#create_account_link-type

#

will this enable user to restart from where he left off?

#

can you check this Connect user status?

#

will this enable user to restart from where he left off?
yes, they'll only need to add the missing information

#

can you check this Connect user status?
which one?

ancient belfry Sep 9, 2025, 12:11 PM

#

@proud goblet
we are trying to have user go back and add missing link.
we are creating LoginLink

proud goblet Sep 9, 2025, 12:11 PM

#

can you try what I suggested earlier?

ancient belfry Sep 9, 2025, 12:13 PM

#

instead of LoginLink you are suggesting to use AccountLink?

proud goblet Sep 9, 2025, 12:14 PM

#

correct

ancient belfry Sep 9, 2025, 12:15 PM

#

Thanks @proud goblet
is there a way to test this out before releasing to prod?

proud goblet Sep 9, 2025, 12:16 PM

#

yes you shuold test this in test mode first.

ancient belfry Sep 9, 2025, 12:17 PM

#

will this create a new onboarding link?

#

as the previous one will be expired, right?

proud goblet Sep 9, 2025, 12:19 PM

#

I think so yes. but I strongly recommend testing this in test mode first to see how it works.

ancient belfry Sep 9, 2025, 12:21 PM

#

I am a bit confused. My understanding is every call to AccountLink.create will create a new link and the user has to go thru all the steps again

#

we have 2 scenarios:
user missed some information
user entered incorrect information that Stripe failed to verify

in both the cases, we want user to go back and fix it.

what call should we make?
AccountLink or LoginLink?

proud goblet Sep 9, 2025, 12:27 PM

#

both should be AccountLink.

#

only use LoginLink when you want the user to just access their Dashbaord.

ancient belfry Sep 9, 2025, 12:28 PM

#

ok
and when should we use account_update vs account_onboarding?

#

should we use account_update in either of these 2 cases?

proud goblet Sep 9, 2025, 12:30 PM

#

did you read this? it explains the difference: https://docs.stripe.com/api/account_links/create#create_account_link-type

ancient belfry Sep 9, 2025, 12:32 PM

#

yes
I am not sure what to use for fixing failed information

#

seems like account_update but you suggested to use account_onboarding. So, making sure

proud goblet Sep 9, 2025, 12:34 PM

#

account_update is for updating information, like changing their business name or something. account_onboarding is to provide missing information.

#

based on your description, it should be account_onboarding.
