Thank you-- so is it true that using Connect Onboarding with a standard account that does not have a pre-existing integration/connection should not create a new account, but rather connect the existing one? There must be another way to get the URL for onboarding, since you must provide an existing account ID to the AccountLinks.create endpoint.

As I understand it, no (per the docs above). Standard accounts now can only be connected to a single Platform – so it's 'cloned' (as you're seeing)

#

But if the account is connected to no other platforms, then it will not be cloned-- right?

#

If you have an existing account, you should use OAuth and not Connect Onboarding

Ah

I believe they are yes. The account will be cloned solely for that Platform activity

#

Ok, I think that answers it. To sum up, for pre-existing accounts we should use OAuth, and for new ones, Stripe Onboarding is the way to go.

#

Accurate?

brazen jasper Nov 30, 2021, 1:46 PM

#

Yep, for standard accounts

boreal mica Nov 30, 2021, 1:47 PM

#

And finally-- does a "parent" account have the same access to accounts connected via OAuth as it does with accounts connected via Onboarding?

That depends on the control settings (mentioned here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/platform-controls-for-standard-accounts)
