hi there! can you explain more on it still creates an account on the Rocket Rides backend and saves to database without an associated Stripe ID. - what / whose database are we referring to here?

gusty fjord May 11, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

The mongodb database

#

I'm running the demo locally with test API keys

#

if you're following a guide, can you share the link to it?

gusty fjord May 11, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

Sure thing. It's Stripe's demo. I'll grab the github link

#

https://github.com/stripe/stripe-connect-rocketrides

#

gimme a while, i'm looking at the sample to see how it works right now

gusty fjord May 11, 2022, 1:57 AM

#

Np. Thx for the help

#

Btw, you can replicate the behavior at https://rocketrides.io/

You can create an account and leave before you do the Stripe onboarding and still access https://rocketrides.io/pilots/dashboard

Rocket Rides

Rocket Rides is an on-demand platform built on top of Stripe Connect.

That's the platform's balance with the option to payout the platform's balance.

#

when you say if you create an account and skip the account onboarding - do you mean you just close the page midway through filling up the form?

gusty fjord May 11, 2022, 2:18 AM

#

Sure. And go straight to /pilots/dashboard

#

Finish the account creation with Rocket Rides, don't finish (or even start) Stripe Express onboarding

#

actually i can't replicate it

gusty fjord May 11, 2022, 2:21 AM

#

Whaa...I can do it again with a new account on rocketrides.io right now.

bold fossil May 11, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

so what i did is

click on sign up, fill up the email and password
stop at this point
login with the email and password which i previously provided
i'm logged in to the connected account on the rocketrides page

gusty fjord May 11, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

#

Just replicated it

bold fossil May 11, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

you mentioned that ^ is the platform balance? Why do you think so?

gusty fjord May 11, 2022, 2:24 AM

#

Because of seeing it run locally with my Stripe platform account on test mode

#

Try exiting out right at the beginning of the Express onboarding flow

#

Finish the whole Rocket rides account creation step

bold fossil May 11, 2022, 2:26 AM

#

alright, gimme a couple of seconds

gusty fjord May 11, 2022, 2:26 AM

#

Sure thing

bold fossil May 11, 2022, 2:29 AM

#

ah okay i see what you mean now

#

I'll pass on the feedback about this issue, but in the meantime, you may want to add in the necessary checks/verifications to prevent this from happening

router.get('/', (req, res, next) => {
  res.status(200).json({
    stripe_publishable_key: config.stripe.publishableKey,
  });
});

module.exports = router;

I guess this is why it has the platform Stripe ID by default

In settings.js
