I don't think oAuth allows users to select their MCC, so they are set to whatever Stripe programmatically chooses based on their industry selection. You would have to manually set the MCC on the account after onboarding.
I'm not aware of another way around it unfortunately
elfin burrow
Yeah, it seems like Stripe is trying to programmatically choose it, and then it isn't able to determine it, so it lands on my platform MCC. I'm not certain if that is happening though.
Is there any other information the customer can provide to allow the MCC chosen to be closer to their actual industry?
It almost seems like the MCC chosen is always the platform's MCC.
How can I enable industry selection in the this onboarding flow for them? Is that available?
tiny holly
What version of the API are you using?
elfin burrow
This app is on 2017-12-14.
tiny holly
Ah, okay. There isn't a way to do this unfortunately. The only option is to specify MCC manually as far as I can tell
Either that, or upgrade your API such that we request their industry via oAuth by default
elfin burrow
I see. So in this version, we aren't able to enable industry selection during oauth onboarding. In which version is that input available?
It sounds like in this version, we would need to specify MCC manually with an account update after they've completed the onboarding flow?

Correct.
I see. So in this version, we aren't able to enable industry selection during oauth onboarding. In which version is that input available?
I'm not sure specifically, I just know that the functionality is newer. Which language are you using?
elfin burrow
We're on Ruby. If possible, it may be helpful to know which version would enable Stripe to automatically set an MCC without asking for industry? Or is industry always requested for oauth onboarding?
tiny holly
Let me check with a colleague
elfin burrow
Thank you! I appreciate it!
tiny holly
And to clarify, you want to know what version we started asking for industry, right?
So that you can decide if upgrade is feasible?
elfin burrow
Right. These are the questions we're facing right now:
Ideally, if available for oauth onboarding, we would like to see which version we would need so that Stripe can automatically assign the MCC without requesting for industry.
If that isn’t available for oauth onboarding, knowing which version we started asking for industry would be our next step. It doesn’t seem like it is possible to provide a list of which industries appear in that dropdown right?
So we can see if upgrading is feasible to either of these two versions.
tiny holly
I don't think there is a later version where we stopped asking for industry. I think we added the industry drop-down as a feature at some point after 2017-12-14 then upgraded the feature to also check other data on the new account to make a better decisions about the most appropriate MCC.
So I can see if I can get some help finding out when those upgrades happened if that's useful
elfin burrow
I see! I may have misread the docs on the stopped asking portion. That dropdown isn't editable in any way right (modifying the list of industries that display)?
Yes, that would be really helpful to confirm. Thank you!
tiny holly

I don't think so, no
Yes, that would be really helpful to confirm. Thank you!
Will do. Give me a few minutes and I'll brb
elfin burrow
No worries, thank you again!

Having trouble finding it and team engagements is scarce on Friday evenings, but I'm pretty sure that it must have been some version after 2019-02-11 , though I'm not confident in that answer.
elfin burrow
I understand. Thank you! Yeah it is late. I appreciate this, I can definitely share that with my team to see what is feasible.
tiny holly
i can repro on my end and check to see if that's the right version. If you have to drop offline before I finish, feel free to contact support and mention my handle(two-shoes). I can get back to you when you on Monday via email in that case.
elfin burrow
Ok! I may be dropping off soon. If you are able to check that, that would be awesome! I'll be around Discord here or I can contact Support as well.
Hope you have a great weekend!
tiny holly
Likewise! I'll update the thread if anything is forthcoming, otherwise I'll keep an eye out for the support contact on Monday
tiny holly
So, we definitely ask for industry on version 2019-02-19 but it's going to take a lot of time to test each version between your version 2017-12-14 and the oldest example I have on 2019-02-19 , so if you want me to chase (which I'm happy to do) let me know via support and I'll keep digging on Monday. Otherwise, best of luck and let us know if we can help!
elfin burrow
No worries! Thank you for checking. This is perfect.
