Also, how does one set the EIN for a prefilled account? I sent it as the tax_id, but it also didn't come prefilled

Sensitive information you prefill will not be exposed in the UI

#

so the EIN goes in https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/create#create_account-company-tax_id like you said but then we won't show it visually on the screen

#

As for the representative, it's the same if you create a Person and set https://docs.stripe.com/api/persons/create#create_person-relationship-representative to true it should work

#

Standard accounts come with a different logic since we build a direct relationship with the owner of the account here though so I am not sure how much can be fully prefilled here versus what we ask to verify

I see. One last question then: I see in the docs that if I set some of these information for company https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/create#create_account-company this note about the "once you create an account link this property can only be updated for accounts where requirement_collection is application". Am I able to change this requirement_collection field after the creation of an account and linking using acount link or would I never be able to change it from then on?

I don't understand the framing of the question I'm sorry

bleak shadow Oct 16, 2025, 5:33 PM

Sure. Let me try to rephrase.
Should I pass the company field, it says that I can only change it if requirement_collection is application.
If I do not pass requirement_collection, it defaults to stripe.
Am I able to change it in the future from stripe to application so I can manage the company field of an account without having to create another account and/or go through an account link for that account again?

Gotcha, then no that can never be changed. Really, you must decide upfront what "type" of account you want to onboard and what control you want over each
See https://docs.stripe.com/connect/migrate-to-controller-properties
