Here's the id: acct_1KTaAYC433BEDSLz

#

Also, we tried to OAuth into this account, but when we tried, Stripe created a new account instead of using this one. Any idea why?

Hello 👋
You can try retrieving the account using the API and check type property to see the account type

https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/retrieve

#

we tried to OAuth into this account
can you provide more context on this? As in what did you try using OAuth flow?

#

We have a Stripe Connect Platform Account

#

We implementing OAuth authentication for our clients using the following documentation: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-reference

#

Now, when we tried to OAuth into one of our test standard accounts, Stripe created a new standard account instead of OAuth'ing into our standard account

#

We were told in the past that if a Standard account had already OAuth'ed using a different platform account, then a new account will be created.

#

Is that what happened here?

#

If so, is there any way to find out the id of the platform account a standard account is connected to?

#

Yup, Standard Accounts can only connect to one platform. If they try to connect to another account, a copy of that account is made and the copy is then connected to the platform.

is there any way to find out the id of the platform account a standard account is connected to?

#

it was designed this way for privacy reasons. I don't think it is possible to tell what other platform the account is connected to.

The account holder can visit https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/applications to check what they are connected to but its impossible for a platform to see that information.

#

Oh

#

I am the account holder

#

I should be able to see then

#

Mmmmm

#

#

No Authorized applications on that account as far as I can see

#

and nevertheless, we were not able to Oauth it to our platform account

#

instead, a new account was created

#

Any ideas why that happened?

#

FYI: The account that got created has id acct_1KUGi4J3dgba7z45

#

The original one is this one acct_1KTaAYC433BEDSLz

#

We are tying to understand if this is a problem on our side or just expected behavior

#

hmm interesting.
AFAIK this is expected in case the existing account is already connected to a platform. Not sure why it'd happen if it was NOT connected to a platform

brisk mesa Feb 17, 2022, 9:46 PM

#

Is there anything you can review on your side that could help us understand what happened here?

floral kiln Feb 17, 2022, 9:47 PM

#

Yup
Do you have a request ID for the account creation by any chance?

brisk mesa Feb 17, 2022, 9:58 PM

#

Sorry

#

I only have the ids

#

The account that got created has id acct_1KUGi4J3dgba7z45
The original one is this one acct_1KTaAYC433BEDSLz
