Hello
I believe you're referring to OAuth onboarding flow -
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/oauth-standard-accounts
https://docs.stripe.com/connect/oauth-reference
We generally recommend using Stripe Apps for newer integrations as that's the better approach design wise but upto you 🙂

But if I use Stripe Apps, that's not a one-click authentication? I've already successfully implement Stripe Connect, but it was read_write and it said contact support to ask about read only, I've done that, but it's still not clear on what I need to do to change it to read only. Is it possible to change my Stripe Connect setup to request read only?
Is there a variable that I need to set somewhere? I hope my question makes sense, because I have spent a while trying to understand this. Thanks.

I don't know how you can update the scope retroactivelly on existing Connected Accounts but you can update the scope= to read_only in your OAuth link so the new Connected Accounts would only connect in read only mode
For existing accounts, one option would be to disconnect and reconnect them with the right scope

Existing accounts are not an issue, I can re-auth them.
The docs say: read_only can only be specified for Extensions
But, is it possible to make Stripe Extensions still or have they been cancelled?
young tide
I don't believe we've fully deprecated them but let me double check
Alternatively with Stripe Apps, you can create install links which is similar experience (not the same as OAuth flow but somewhat similar)
https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/install-links
Ah actually, you're right. We've deprecated extensions - https://docs.stripe.com/stripe-apps/migrate-extension and Stripe Apps are the only option moving forward.

Ok, thanks. I will try this and see if it has the same "one-click" experience.
young tide
Sounds good! 👍
