hi there! Let me try, I'd expect it to be pre-set but maybe there's an issue there
seems to work fine for me, in that it just jumps immediately to asking me for my own details and not details of a company or its directors and so on.
what do you see exactly that's not what you expect?
Hmm that's not what we see
Sorry customer rang and got distracted.
If I retrieve the Account, should i be able to see any of the prefilled details?
nope, it's all PII so it's not returned to you in the API
Okay, so if we look at the POST for req_uzXgK6kpS3lng4, that looks correct right?
seems perfectly good to me!
Then I create the AccountLink and redirect the user to it
So let me just do that now
First page I get
So it's prefilled at least, despite what my client's reports would say
But you don't get that when testing?
correct, I didn't get that page when testing
hopefully not, this should all work the same in live/test mode
I don't know what it is
maybe it's to do with capabilities, try using
capabilities={
"card_payments": {"requested": True},
"transfers": {"requested": True},
},
in the account create call.
Hmm okay.
Slightly random but can do
Is changing capabilities easy if we need to in future?
Nvm, I've seen we can do it with Update
Okay the user still gets asked
I really don't know what's up with that then unfortunately. It does seem unexpected
The issue is that if the user picks the wrong choice, they can't go back and change it right?
So we have lots of individuals, and if they select 'Company', there's no way to fix it. And they can't go forward because they have to enter a company number (which of course they don't have)
If you have a workaround, that would be great.
yes, as far as I know the business_type can't be changed
I don't have a workaround, like I said this seems unexpected and I can't reproduce so seems more like a bug than anything
If you were to guess on the time frame for a fix for something like this., what would you think?
I've noticed that if I 'update' the account with the capabilities after creation, the AccountLink redirects to the user's dashboard (presumably just any update would be sufficient), and doesn't ever ask for a business type, maybe we'll have to do that instead. Feels ever so slightly hacky.
I have no idea what the time frame would be. You'd need to reach out to https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true so it can be reported and escalated if it is indeed a bug
Bleh fair enough. I think it'll be quicker to do that workaround then.
Thanks for your help
I'll file the bug internally with the information from this thread (but it's better if you report it since then we can ask you for more information if needed and let you know the outcome)
Okay I'll also log it in then
I don't really understand your workaround but I don't think I'd recommend it, this should just be working as-is
So basically, I updated the account with those capabilities. After doing that, the AccountLink you get redirects to the Dashboard rather than the onboarding process and tells the user they need to add X and Y information (and seems to ask only for information applicable to the original selected business type).
So they still enter all the information, but we don't have that confusion any more.
