#stripe_connect_platform - test afterpay
grim marsh
Hello so I think you'd have to sign up for those services. In the same way that you can use a real card in test mode, you should be able to use those payment methods in test mode (it just won't actually charge you)
Which payment methods do you specifically want to know about so I can follow-up and get the details for sure?
craggy badger
Let's start with Alipay?
grim marsh
Ok let me confirm that really quick, but I believe you just have to sign up for the services

We are a Stripe Connect Platform (hence the name) so it's like it depends. If I have a Mexican customer, he will want to test OXXO. So I need to sign up for OXXO, but i'm a US based SaaS so not sure how to handle all these things. I can create a Stripe Account per my conversation with Discord this morning, for example, in Mexico, but I'm not sure if OXXO will let me sign up with same. Same problem for Netherlands, China-specific payment options. etc. Big problem.
If I have a customer in the Netherlands, he will want to take iDEAL

Ah ok I gotcha
craggy badger
If I have a customer in Austria, he will want to take EPS.

Let me ask a colleague
craggy badger
OK, you get the idea. 🙂
But I need to test all this to make sure the flow is smooth, particularly for the async ones.
I'm still a little bit stuck on creating a mock Mexican Stripe account. Is this step done before or after I create the account?
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing#identity-and-address-verification
Like can I make the account in the dashboard. then update it. For Mexico there are some weird tax IDs I don't understand so I am hoping that doc will help me update the account so it has an identity that is OK by Stripe. But then I need to mock it like a person walked into an OXXO and paid cash and then I get a payment_intent.succeeded. Super confusing. 🙂
Can you update a Stripe account for us that i just created so it looks like it is a company in Mexico for testing OXXO? I don't have a Mexico-ok tax ID number.
*We are a US company but have Stripe customers worldwide.

Sorry I don't have the context from the thread this morning
Those sample Tax IDs in the guide don't work?
Like are they not country-agnostic?

one sec
I am doing the Stripe Connect flow. It asks me for "Personal RFC"
OK, got to next page.
Select an account for payouts
A payout is the transfer of funds from Stripe to your bank account.
I am actually trying to do it with the dashboard but maybe I need to spend the day writing a script.
Confirm CLABE
It asks for a CLABE?
not sure what a CLABE is?
110000000 000999999991 Triggers the bank account ownership verification process after a short delay
Those don't work for CLABE, whatever that is
Do you have an entire script example that would update any test Stripe account so it has everything OKd for identity, bank account, so we can do this for every payment method?
And just update the address to match the country or something?
grim marsh
I believe CLABE is bank account, so you can try one from this section: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing#payouts
We don't have a script as far as I know
But back to your original question:
craggy badger
Known test bank accounts cannot be used in live mode.
grim marsh
For the different payment methods, there should just be a Stripe hosted page you can use to test the flow. Here is a sample showing how WeChat payments are accepted in test mode: https://asi-wcp-demo.glitch.me/
craggy badger
Hmmm
Test mode
OK, let me work through this. We were connecting 2 Stripe accounts in livemode to get live objects but then don't get the right webhooks to ngrok so switched back to ca_xxxx in testmode. Let me check what is happening. I think we are connecting in testmode but getting:
Known test bank accounts cannot be used in live mode.
When I enter the number. But I can work through this. OK I will try again on Monday. Thank you!
