hello

did you have

anybody

Please have some patience

You should be able to update the address for the individual: https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/update#update_account-individual-address

Did you try?

Hi 🙂

Yes I tried, but “country” isn’t a valid parameter (my IDE highlights it), and adding it to the metadata doesn’t seem to have any effect :/

[rapid hare]

Because it's individual[address][country]

[valid garden]

Oh yes 🤦‍♂️ I see! I’ll test that right away

[sweet pier]

Hey, taking over here. Let me know if there's any follow-up Qs I can answer!

[valid garden]

It doesn’t work, I’m getting this error :

{ "message": "Address for business must match account country", "error": "Bad Request", "statusCode": 400 }

I also tried with a complete address, but it still doesn’t work

[sweet pier]

Can you share the ID (req_xxx) of the failing API request?

The connected account's country is FR however you passed a DE address

You need to pass a FR address

[valid garden]

Yes, I want to change the account’s country because it should be DE, not FR, in order to complete the onboarding

I’m looking for a way to change the account’s country without asking my users to recreate it (it’s a live/production account).

[sweet pier]

You can't change it, you need to create a new one then

[valid garden]

Oh no… okay. If the user recreates the account in the correct country but with the same email, will Stripe use the most recent one for onboarding and not the first one with the wrong country?

[sweet pier]

Yes you can use the same email and you can delete the old account:

Ok thank you
