Let me know if you need any other details

topaz sinew Jan 28, 2026, 7:18 AM

#

No it's fine. Let me test something before getting back to you

cursive tulip Jan 28, 2026, 7:20 AM

#

sure

topaz sinew Jan 28, 2026, 7:26 AM

#

For Custom Account, I believe you can use the Stripe hosted onboarding flow: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/payouts-bank-accounts?bank-account-collection-method=financial-connections&bank-account-collection-integration=prebuilt-web-form#collecting-external-accounts

#

For Express Account, I think you can also use that same flow, but checking further...

cursive tulip Jan 28, 2026, 7:26 AM

#

sure

#

If it’s MX (Custom) → account_update AccountLink

If it’s US (Express) → login link / Express Dashboard

topaz sinew Jan 28, 2026, 7:28 AM

#

Yes Express can use that too

#

Can you try account_onboarding type for Express and account_update for Custom?

cursive tulip Jan 28, 2026, 7:28 AM

#

can you please again explain the difference of what I just stated above and what you are saying

#

I am confuse, can you please re-state?

topaz sinew Jan 28, 2026, 7:33 AM

#

Sure. Could you try to create an URL for Stripe-hosted Onboarding flow for both of your accounts, follow this guide: https://docs.stripe.com/connect/custom/hosted-onboarding#info-to-collect

cursive tulip Jan 28, 2026, 7:33 AM

#

point here is, I don't want onboarding

#

thats already working

#

I want to let user update his information

#

so type would be account_update

#

but would it work for both US and MX

topaz sinew Jan 28, 2026, 7:34 AM

#

Yes but you can change the type to account_update.

cursive tulip Jan 28, 2026, 7:34 AM

#

as per gpt, for US you have to take user to dashboard/login

#

and then need webhook in order to sync my db

#

where as for MX, it will be redirected back

#

like onboarding did

topaz sinew Jan 28, 2026, 7:35 AM

#

MX = Custom, where you can use type = "account_update"

#

US = Express. I think Express Dashboard doesn't have the option to change bank account, but if you could log in and explore around, it would be the best

cursive tulip Jan 28, 2026, 7:36 AM

#

so gpt is correct

topaz sinew Jan 28, 2026, 7:37 AM

#

I think it's incorrect by suggesting Express Dashboard. But let's try

#

Nvm, it's possible

cursive tulip Jan 28, 2026, 7:41 AM

#

which means?

#

we can use both to send to update account ifnormation?

#

instead of taking US to login/dashboard?

fair jewelBOT Jan 28, 2026, 7:55 AM

#

topaz sinew Jan 28, 2026, 7:57 AM

#

You can use type=account_update for stripe-hosted Onboarding for Custom Account, and separately provide Login Link for Express Dashboard for your Express Account

#

hi! I'm taking over this thread. let me know if you have other quetions.

cursive tulip Jan 28, 2026, 8:00 AM

#

So US -> Express -> login to express dashboard
MX -> Custom -> redirect with account_update that what Chatgpt said too.
