https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/create?lang=node#create_account-business_type
individual is one of the possible enums that can be set on creation, but once an account link / sessions is generated this can only be updated if controller.requirement_collection is application which is not the case for express accounts.
If you want the user to be able to update the business_type while going through the hosted onboarding process i'd recommend considering a different account type.

Okay, so if I want a user to be able to enter something other than a company when they register, perhaps I need to remove the "business" type from the call and change the type?
But if I don't use Express, I won't have this interface, and I'll probably have to fill in all the fields directly on my website?

While the types of standard, express and custom are still available for use, they are mostly there for existing platforms that were built with those concepts in mind. We've introduced a more flexible controller properties system that lets you more flexibly dictate the account behavior on creation.
This would let you create an account with the 'express' dashboard, but with controller.requirement_collection set to application

A quick look revealed that changing controller.requirement_collection to application is a major undertaking. Just because one option is missing, which should be available, do I have to retype everything? Because according to the documentation, people should be able to run it as an individual (i.e., without a company). Or have I misunderstood, and that was never the case?

Hello 👋
I'm stepping in as my colleague needs to go but I have always understood that the Platform cannot change the business type of an Express connected account after ~onboarding~ account creation.

Okay, but for example, before I didn't have this line: business_type: parseResult.data.businessType === "COMPANY" ? "company" : "individual", so the user could make their choice. But I still didn't have the individual option.

Damn, Discord doesn't support strike-through
Sorry but as my colleague already pointed out, we document this
The business type. Once you create an Account Link or Account Session, this property can only be updated for accounts where controller.requirement_collection is application, which includes Custom accounts.

But this interface is for the business_type, right?
I tried with buisness_type individual, and I still have to select a buisness type
urban maple
This allows the owner of the Connected Account to revise their business type. I don't think this can be skipped
winter light
Yes, and that's what I'm talking about. If I go back to the workflow, the user fills out a form on my website. With this information, I create a Connect account, then open a session. During this session, they have to fill in all their information, like their IBAN, KYC details, etc. And for me, it's in these steps on Stripe that they define their business account type. That is, whether it's a company, an association, or an individual. Except that currently, they can only select "company" (the first two options on the screen) or "association."
urban maple
Unfortunately that is because, for Express type accounts, Stripe is still the entity responsible for collecting this information.
