Can you clarify what you mean by "bypass existing process"?

#

Existing process is a webhook from Stripe to my system passing in transaction and payout. I have added a new source of payment that integrates to Stripe which is going through the process but I want to send those payments to a different process.

#

Can you give me a summary of what you want to happen with this new flow?

violet escarp Dec 15, 2021, 9:59 PM

#

Yes payments coming from the new source has a description of "Brushfire", I want these payments to go to a sub account if I can create one or to be excluded from being sent by the webhook from the main account.

#

Gotcha - so if that's your goal then yes, you can create a connect account and have charges go through there

#

Two questions, how do I create a connect account and is it going to cost me any extra?

toxic atlas Dec 15, 2021, 10:07 PM

#

I don't know much about the cost/fees perspective of things (that's something you'd want to talk to support about https://support.stripe.com/contact) but you can start reading about connect account here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts

Using Connect with Standard accounts

Integrate with Standard accounts to get started using Connect right away, and let Stripe handle the majority of the user experience and user communication.

#

So if I create this connect account, it will not be adding the transactions to my main account correct?

#

Also is there a way to remove or delete accounts that have been created accidently?

toxic atlas Dec 15, 2021, 10:08 PM

#

There's some development work involved here - you have to create the connect account but also change your code to make sure the charges are going to the correct account

violet escarp Dec 15, 2021, 10:10 PM

#

Right now the webhook setup in Stripe as hosted endpoint is set to listen for charge.failed
charge.succeeded
invoice.payment_failed
invoice.payment_succeeded
payout.paid

#

How do I prevent the transactions/payout from "Brushfire" being included in the data sent by the webhook? Will the connect account data not get pulled in by the webhook?

toxic atlas Dec 15, 2021, 10:11 PM

#

Charges that happen directly on the connect account won't be going to your normal platform account's webhook.

#

Alternatively, if your goal is just to make sure certain payments aren't processed by your webhook but you still want them on your main account you could just add some metadata to the charge and make sure your webhook handler skips those charges

#

Ok thank you.

#

How can I remove or delete accounts that were created but not activated?

toxic atlas Dec 15, 2021, 10:13 PM

#

You should be able to delete these account through the API

violet escarp Dec 15, 2021, 10:14 PM

#

Is there any option to delete from the dashboard?
