Hi 👋 I'm looking for this

#

Just wanted to let you know

#

Alright.

#

Okay I dug into this and it looks like we don't have an API for this. 🙁

#

It's a known pain point for our customers

#

I'm guessing you want to avoid payout failures?

green pulsar Mar 16, 2022, 6:04 PM

#

Yes. You are right.

vagrant furnace Mar 16, 2022, 6:06 PM

#

Yeah unfortunately we don't have a good programmatic solution for that.

#

Potential question...are these connected accounts also customers of the platform?

green pulsar Mar 16, 2022, 6:07 PM

#

Yes. These are the customers of platform.

vagrant furnace Mar 16, 2022, 6:13 PM

#

As in, they exist as Connected accounts (acct__XXXXX) AND Customers (cus_XXXXX)?

green pulsar Mar 16, 2022, 6:16 PM

#

Yes. Every customer has connect account.

vagrant furnace Mar 16, 2022, 6:16 PM

#

But do they have Customer objects? cus_XXXXX?

#

Or are they only Connected accounts?

#

The reason I ask is, we have a method to verify bank accounts but it only works for Customer objects (cus_XXXXX)

#

They have customer object cus_xxxxx

vagrant furnace Mar 16, 2022, 6:19 PM

#

Well then, if you also use the bank information to create a source for that customer, you can use the approach I linked to above to verify it.

#

Alright. Let me check it.
