#Cory Keane - Connect Onboarding
rugged ember
hello!
faint stratus
Do you know what kind of Connect accounts you are going to use?
rugged ember
I understand already the general flow of money. With Stripe Custom accounts.
We don't want the users to ever have to log into Stripe.
We would like a simple, fully branded, one-time onboarding process. Ideally on our app only.
To be clear, I am still figuring out what accounts we are wanting to create, but based on my research, I think we definitely need a Stripe Custom Account for each vendor. Because we don't want them to leave the platform to onboard or see payments.
However, we may be open to some things given security implications. So I need your help please.

Hello! You're correct that Custom accounts will be required for a fully-custom flow with the accounts never logging in to or seeing Stripe.
I'm not sure I understand your questions beyond that. Can you provide more details or ask more specific questions?

@manic spear - We are in the middle of finalizing the user interface on our app, where vendors of ours can enter ALL their information so that we can pay them via Stripe (sending bank transfers from our bank account to their bank account).
As you already know, there is a lot of sensitive information we request of them in order to do bank transfers. And I am wondering if Stripe.JS can take in all that data, or is it required that it hits our backend server first?
I am also weighing out whether we just use one of these more simple data collection methods that would require the user to leave our app temporarily to do that all on stripe's domain
The docs are overwhelming and I am just trying to finalize this flow and what all info is required for our specific scenarios.

For Custom accounts it's required that it hits your backend. The alternative is to use hosted onboarding, but it sounds like you never want to send your users to Stripe, so that doesn't sound viable?
rugged ember
We are open to it.
If that's the ONLY time they leave our app is this one-time onboarding form.
manic spear
Yep, it is. Here are the docs for it: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/connect-onboarding
I would recommend that approach if you're open to it.

Ok thanks @manic spear can you please leave this thread open for a bit because I need to read this and I have follow up questions.
manic spear
Will do! If this thread is archived when you come back you can ask in #dev-help to have it opened again, or start a new one. 🙂

I am going through this demo: https://rocketdeliveries.io/
Is there a test driver's license I can use? Are there test documents for all the different methods I can use to experience the full user flow?
manic spear
Yep, we have test values for Connect documented here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing
rugged ember
ok thanks
Are custom domains allowed for this onboarding step? For example, if we wanted to use stripe.ourcompany.com to host this page:
manic spear
No, we currently do not support custom domains for hosted onboarding.
manic spear
Yes, when you create an account via the API you can supply information there to have it prefilled: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create
