#

As u can see, I cant find any prop for "representative". I use typescript

narrow mist Mar 21, 2022, 8:28 PM

#

Which library is that?

#

That API version is different than the version of the client library that you are using

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 8:29 PM

#

this is serverside node.js

#

I use just "stripe" library

#

My server crashes..because of typescript. I might have to ignore typescript for this library

#

this is stripe connect

#

Im able to create account, but suppose i need to "director, exectutive" to go forward

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 8:36 PM

narrow mist Which library is that?

import Stripe from "stripe";
const stripe = new Stripe(process.env.STRIPE_KEY, {
  apiVersion: "2020-08-27",
});

Thank you. Checking further in to this

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 8:47 PM

#

From the stripe dashboard I ofcourse get questions about "director" and "executive" and "owner"

#

I try to add this ontop of file to avoid typescript crashing server

// @ts-ignore
// @ts-nocheck

Have you tried updating to the latest version of the index file?

yarn add stripe@latest```

i just did "npm i stripe"

This error above only happens when i try to add prop "executives" or "owners" or "directors"

#

I tried now to uninstall and install latest again. Doesnt work

#

It seems to be typescript that cause server to crash? but that doesnt make sense, cuz i have "strict: none" on compiler config

#

I use ```js
const account = await stripe.accounts.create({})

#

I can confirm that its not typescript

#

I changed to just ```js
const stripe = require("stripe")(apikey)

#

it says that its no prop called any of these

#

@narrow mist There are no props that exist for "executives", "owners", etc

#

I have also tried to use "apiVersion: null"

Hello! Taking over and catching up, hang on...

#

There is no top-level representative property on Accounts. Are you trying to set individual.relationship.representative? https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/object#account_object-individual-relationship-representative

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 9:24 PM

@tepid portal https://stripe.com/docs/connect/required-verification-information#NO-full-company--card_payments|transfers

#

im using connect "custom" onboarding

#

trying to make a account for new user

#

and as u can see from "requirements", i need to specify "owners", "representative" and "directors"

#

I use my own forms, so no "template" / redirect to stripe website

#

but wierd i cant find any prop for these? Cuz when i create the account, I get a response, and It says due ```js

"requirements": {
"alternatives": [],
"current_deadline": null,
"currently_due": [

Yep, I understand what you're trying to do, I just don't understand specifically what's failing. Can you provide all of the code for the API request that's failing?

That's the code that doesn't work? I thought you said you were trying to use representative somewhere?

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 9:30 PM

#

yes

#

i tried adding "representative", but then i get error saying

#

StripeInvalidRequestError: Received unknown parameter: representative

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 9:31 PM

#

Where exactly where you trying to add that?

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 9:33 PM

#

see edited code above

#

executives: {
      first_name: first_name
      last_name: last_name
    },

#

StripeInvalidRequestError: Received unknown parameter: executives

#

According to docs

#

"executives.first_name"

#

As u can see from docs here, the "company" prop is visible for me. But "executives", "owners" and "directors" is not visible or doesnt work

#

currently i use regular ```js
const stripe = require("stripe")(apiKey)

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 9:37 PM

#

That's not how the requirements map to the API. You should be looking at the API reference to assemble your API calls: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create

#

So you're trying to create an account for a company with multiple executives?

#

If you're trying to create an account for a company with more than one person associated with it you'll need to use the Persons API in addition to the Accounts API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/persons

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 9:44 PM

#

Im simply trying to add a account to my connect. And I get "restricted" if I dont specify "directors" and all that crap like "first_name" etc

#

and when i press inside the newly created account i get this

#

from stripe dashboard

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

When you see something like executives.first_name in the requirements it means that one or more of the executives for the account in question need to provide their first name. It doesn't mean there's a single executives.first_name property on the Account itself.

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

I want to ofcourse be able to payout money to the connected account

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 9:45 PM

#

Yeah, you need to provide all of the required information using the APIs I linked to above, but the requirements do not map 1:1 with properties on the Account object.

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 9:46 PM

#

tepid portal When you see something like `executives.first_name` in the requirements it means...

oh I see, but how can I specify that 1 exectuive / owner of company

from the "create account" config above, what code do I miss?

#

i have tried adding everything

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 9:46 PM

#

To clarify, is this connected account for an individual or for a company?

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 9:48 PM

#

company

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 9:50 PM

#

For a company you need to use the Persons API to specify the person who owns the company. We have a guide for this here that might help: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/identity-verification-api#person-information

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 9:57 PM

#

u have to create the Person after the account?

#

as i see from docs u need to pass account id to the creation object

#

const person = await stripe.accounts.createPerson(
  'acct_1Ibqq9HkK6xmnAQC',
  {first_name: 'Jane', last_name: 'Diaz'}
);

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 9:59 PM

Yep, that's correct. 🙂

tos_acceptance: {
      date: Date.now(),
      ip: "something here",
      user_agent: "agent here",
      service_agreement: "full",
    },
``` for "agent" and "ip", do u know any great way to get those values?

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 10:02 PM

#

You get them from your system. The user_agent is typically from the web browser being used by the person onboarding, and the ip is their IP address.

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 10:18 PM

#

raw: {
    message: 'ToS acceptance date is not valid. Dates are expected to be integers, measured in seconds, not in the future, and after 2009.',
    param: 'tos_acceptance[date]',

#

I try to do ```js
new Date().getTime()

#

which output something like so ```js
1647901085112

#

shouldnt that be valid?

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 10:21 PM

#

That's in milliseconds, not seconds.

#

You need to divide by 1,000 to get seconds.

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 10:23 PM

new Date().getTime() / 1000

        return new StripeInvalidRequestError(rawStripeError);

you need an integer, it's a unix timestamp not a float

tepid portal Mar 21, 2022, 10:24 PM

#

Ah, sorry, divide by zero to an integer.

#

Yeah. 😄

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 10:36 PM

#

I wonder why "Payouts are disabled until a representative is added." pops up, when I have added this

#

grizzled gorge Mar 21, 2022, 10:37 PM

#

because it's a requirement of what we need to collect https://stripe.com/docs/connect/required-verification-information

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 10:40 PM

#

yeh looks like i need some sort of document

#

@grizzled gorge damn this process is insane

#

this means that i have to request pass port, driver license, id card or permit id to customers?

#

isnt that really heavy duty

#

would be much better with just the persons´s personal id number.

#

not everyone knows how to add for example a image file of their passport online

#

#

@tepid portal When I registered for stripe, i cant remember having to upload like a freaking png file of pass port or something. I might recall adding personal id number.

#

I would much perfer to ask for personal id number, then forcing user to take image of their passport, upload to computer, upload to my website, etc

#

isnt it possible to just use personal id number?

grizzled gorge Mar 21, 2022, 10:50 PM

#

I mean you're accepting payments on behalf of another company

#

Every country have different requirements and some re heavier than other. Nothing is "insane" here, you can't just get money and send it to whomever you want sadly, there are strict rules and regulations worldwide for this

#

And not it's not possible to "just use personal id number". Many countries don't even have one of those

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 10:59 PM

#

@grizzled gorge I see. I just cant recall simple sites like take for example ebay or amazon asking u for pass port, driver license or something similar? im not customer of those though, so might be wrong

#

I have this step left, which means I need to create a external account?

#

const bankAccount = await stripe.accounts.createExternalAccount(
  'acct_1Ibqq9HkK6xmnAQC',
  {
    external_account: 'btok_1KftDZHkK6xmnAQC1mLuC1VU',
  }
);
``` seems like i need a token "btok"

grizzled gorge Mar 21, 2022, 11:00 PM

#

Rules and regulations evolve every year too. What happened a year ago is different. For example we're required to collect more information in Europe today than we were 5 months ago

#

and yes you need to collect bank account details https://stripe.com/docs/connect/bank-debit-card-payouts

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 11:01 PM

#

damn making ur own forms & onboarding flow was harder then i thought

#

its not hard, but time consuming really. And not the onboarding flow i was looking for

grizzled gorge Mar 21, 2022, 11:02 PM

#

it's exactly why we built Connect onboarding, so you don't have to

#

it's hard to do but also know that you will have to change this over the years as new requirements and regulations pop up

sturdy oasis Mar 21, 2022, 11:04 PM

#

yeh thats the thing, having to change crap l8r is pain. But I hate these "templates" / redirect to other websites crap. I just dont like that "flow"

#

but im strongly considering it tbh

#

it will remove alot of pain

grizzled gorge Mar 21, 2022, 11:06 PM

#

Yeah I feel you. We started with the API version too for that reasons. But you should see how often this changes, and how hard it is to do more than one country

#

like do you know how to localize this for Japan? I work at Stripe and I've used those APIs for years and I can tell you if I ever built this myself I'd use Connect Onboarding without even thinking

#

I agree the redirect can appear painful, but it's focused on the end user, and we constantly improve it too

@grizzled gorge from connect demo website, stripe allow u to use social security number instead of uploading document

#

https://rocketdeliveries.io/

grizzled gorge Mar 21, 2022, 11:49 PM

#

sure, that's for the US

#

half the screenshots you shared earlier are not for the US

And you still need to provide more information after that step if there's a mismatch
