#dancawford - connect
modest pawn
Hello! Just starting a thread for you -- I'll review and respond as soon as I can 🙂
So the "new account" flow is the recommended path for most use cases, though it is still possible to connect to existing accounts as long as that isn't blocked by another platform having controlling access. Some links incoming.
OAuth to connect to existing accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-standard-accounts
Some recent changes about oath: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-changes-for-standard-platforms
Platform controls: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/platform-controls-for-standard-accounts
The callout on the first page points to those other two docs:
OAuth is not recommended for new Connect platforms. We recommend using Connect Onboarding for Standard accounts instead.
Starting in June 2021, Platforms using OAuth with read_write scope won’t be able to connect to accounts that are controlled by another platform.
Extensions will not experience any changes to how OAuth behaves. Learn more about OAuth changes for Standard Platforms.

Understood, many thanks for the links! In the event another platform is already connected, is there a way for the end-user to disconnect from them?

As long as they aren't controlling then they should be able to do so with their account settings

Perfect, many thanks for the info Synth, we can amend our integration now. Have a great day ahead 💪
