#unibit - account details
wooden escarp
express
wet socket
some of these details are deliberately omitted as private for the account holder, and since stripe manage that part of the relationship you're not meant to have those details
Can you share an example account?
or request you're making where you Dont have the details?
wooden escarp
but we are the owner of the system and we need to get these information
wet socket
You should have access to the account email:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/object#account_object-email
But for example details about the individual are only available for custom accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/object#account_object-individual

ifor example we just created an express account acct_1KEgRpPs4XcXbqfV ,we are trying to retrieve personal info from this and we cant
we need to get person details in order to create his profile in our system, but stripe isolate this info and does not even provide email is that correct ?
wet socket
That's correct - that information is not available for Express accounts, the account holder relationship is managed by Stripe
wooden escarp
if we use custom account will we have access to it ?
wet socket
If you need that info you'd have to recollect it from your account holder
yes
alternatively, you can collect it up front in your application for the account holder then provide it to Stripe via the account API before you redirect to onboarding and they shouldnt need to fill it in again
wooden escarp
how can this be done, do you have a reference to provide ?
do you mean all these info like name,surname,email,postcode can be provided in AccountCreateOptions() ?
wet socket
Yep! You can provide any info you have to the API, up until you redirect to onboarding
wooden escarp
can you provide a sample, cause there is not such info in your documentation
wet socket
the second snippet there shows providing eg the business url
If you’ve already collected information for your connected accounts, you can prefill that information on the account object for the user and it won’t be collected again in the Connect Onboarding flow. Any information on the account can be prefilled, including company or individual information, external account information, and more.
wooden escarp
we have already done this, the question is how to add additional info such name,surname,postcode,address e.t.c ?
your documentation specifies only 4 parameters
Country = "US", Type = "express", BusinessType = "individual"
wet socket
I'm not sure what you mean by that -- the api specifies many more parameters you can set when creating the account:
