You mostly can't, you have to follow the rules mostly
You use Direct charges right?
lime river
card network rules are really strict with statement descriptors
you can't just put what you want, and with Direct you also can't really control what your connected accounts are setting up unfortunately

It's just tedious to have to log into everyone's dashboard and manually make sure they configured everything correctly, so if I could change it from my end it would be a lot easier
lime river
You can if you control the Standard account
you have full access via the API as long as you create that account yourself via the API (and not OAuth)
worldly night
Well, the field gives me "put what I want"-capabilities on the dash, does it not? I'm not following?
lime river
then you can set their default statement descriptor
worldly night
How?
the API said that was custom and express only
unless I'm looking at the wrong thing
lime river
yeah but it works with Standard also as long as you control the accounts, which means you created them yourself via the API and not via OAuth
worldly night
I was not aware this was an option for Standard
How does onboarding work then? Can you link something relevant?
lime river
we changed the default integration a year ago now and that changes what your platform has access to: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-changes-for-standard-platforms
lime river
I'd recommend trying it on your end to confirm it fits your needs. "controlled" is quite confusing as a term with Standard accounts unfortunately 😦
worldly night
Yeah I have to take a look at this again, because we currently do "create a Stripe account, then come on our website and connect it"
And for these I sometimes don't get Platform controls, not sure why
lime river
yeah you don't get controls with OAuth in most cases
worldly night
But just to recap; if I do it this way, then I can set https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/update#update_account-settings-payments-statement_descriptor ?
lime river
I think so, haven't tried in a while so I'd recommend just trying for a few minutes. I know you can set them on create, but not sure on update after the account onboarded
worldly night
Hmm okay. It needs to be update-able from our end for it to make sense to invest time into
For now
Yeah it doesn't have the "express or custom" tag on create, only on update
