hello, can try, what question do you have

feral ocean Feb 14, 2022, 5:47 PM

#

We're trying to create a test account and using the details on here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing

Testing Stripe Connect

Before going live, test your Connect integration for account creation, identity verification, and payouts.

#

but it's failing. For example we're using 0000 as the last 4 of the SSN but it's not accepting that.

#

what type of Connect account is it? Standard?

#

and I assume you're entering that into the Stripe hosted onboarding page?

feral ocean Feb 14, 2022, 5:52 PM

#

So, we used 0001 and got past that, but then when we got to the routing/account numbers it's failing saying we can't use a known live account in test mode, but we're using the routing/account numbers on that page.

#

Yes, it's standard.

#

yes, stripe-hosted page

#

how are you creating the Connect account? via the API? then doing an AccountLink page?

or using OAuth? or using Dashboard?

#

last I checked, the hosted page did take 0000 SSN and also showed a button for "prefill test external account" to skip the bank acct details entirely

#

and that was last week that I tried this

feral ocean Feb 14, 2022, 5:54 PM

#

#

We just went through it and I didn't see an option to skip the account part.

#

Using OAuth.

runic nebula Feb 14, 2022, 6:04 PM

#

ah yeah in OAuth that button isn't supported afaik

#

with AccountLinks it is

#

so that is what I'd recommend using, OAuth is no longer the recommended approach of onboarding Standard accts

feral ocean Feb 14, 2022, 6:08 PM

#

We found that we had to use OAuth, because the other method forced created new accounts when we wanted the option to use an existing account. This is required for us.

runic nebula Feb 14, 2022, 6:10 PM

#

let me see, if I remember correctly, OAuth flow only had a button to "skip the form" which skips the form and creates a test mode Standard account for you, that is what you would use.

The other approach AFAIK only works in AccountLink onboarding so won't work with OAtuh

feral ocean Feb 14, 2022, 6:42 PM

#

I'll try it again, but I don't think there was a button to skip the form.

#

But if there is not option to skip the form, is there a reason the test account numbers and SSNs aren't working?

👋 @runic nebula had to step away so I'm hopping in

#

This is a limitation of the oauth flow - if you don't use the "Skip the form" button we create a livemode account so the test mode account numbers and SSN won't work. The only way to get the full test flow working in oauth is with the Skip the form button
