Hey!

#

What you're describing is this: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/platform-controls-for-standard-accounts

Platform controls for Standard accounts

Manage more features on behalf of your Standard connected accounts with platform controls

#

Since I operate with customers/products/proces - Will this new account have/sync all this data from the base account ?
Not sure I understand. What's a 'base account'?

indigo rivet May 27, 2022, 10:49 AM

#

Let's go with example from real world - user of my platform is photographer.
Let's say he has Stripe account with customers/products. Now this photograpther decided to register at my platform.

#

So I have platform-stripe-account. And photographer has his photographer-stripe-account.

#

To connect photographer-stripe to mine platform-stripe I can use OAuth, right ?

wild orbit May 27, 2022, 10:52 AM

#

You can use regular Connect onboarding, too

indigo rivet May 27, 2022, 10:53 AM

#

yes, that's second option - Use of connect onboarding. But the result of the 'connect onboarding' will be brand new stripe account which is connected to my platform-stripe-account. Right ?

wild orbit May 27, 2022, 10:55 AM

#

It'll be a new acct_xxx ID yes, but still masked as the same account to your photographer

#

But it'll be an account solely for any interaction they have with your platform

indigo rivet May 27, 2022, 10:59 AM

#

ok, good. So after connect onboarding the photographer in fact will have two accounts in Stripe system:

photographer-stripe-account which he had from beggining
stripe-connected-photographer-account connected to my platform. And my platform will keep this accountId

#

Is it correct ?

wild orbit May 27, 2022, 11:00 AM

#

Yep, exactly. But to the photographer they'll be a single account

indigo rivet May 27, 2022, 11:05 AM

#

great. So having those accountId for stripe-connected-photograph-account - Will I be able to get information of customers/products of the photographer (meaning that those customers/products belongs to original photograpther-stripe-account) ?

#

And not only get information but also create customers/products.

wild orbit May 27, 2022, 11:08 AM

#

Yep, using the Stripe-Account header: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication

#

Ok so basically, the stripe-connected-account is just a proxy of the 'original' stripe account.

wild orbit May 27, 2022, 11:11 AM

#

Yep, exactly

indigo rivet May 27, 2022, 11:12 AM

#

According to this doc page: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standard-accounts I need to create an account and then start the onboarding process.

Using Connect with Standard accounts

Integrate with Standard accounts to get started using Connect right away, and let Stripe handle the majority of the user experience and user communication.

#

So the question, how I can ensure that this connect-account will be created based on existing one. So it really become a 'proxy' account. The requirement is only that email should be used the same as for original stripe account ?

wild orbit May 27, 2022, 11:14 AM

#

Ah, yeah. My bad. You'll need to use OAuth (unless you have the acct_xxx ID)

#

They'll still be able to use their existing Stripe account though

indigo rivet May 27, 2022, 11:15 AM

#

sorry, Im, a bit confused now)

wild orbit May 27, 2022, 11:19 AM

#

Have you tried testing this?

indigo rivet May 27, 2022, 11:19 AM

#

yes, but want to know on how it should be organized

#

So let's get back to the question - photographer with stripe account.
I can connect it to my platform in two ways:

OAuth connect
New account + connect onboarding using the original account.

is it correct ?

wild orbit May 27, 2022, 11:21 AM

#

Yes

#

But the photographer will likely want to use their existing Stripe account, so OAuth is the option in that instance

#

OAuth flow will then create the new 'proxy' account that is solely for the purpose of being connected to your platform

indigo rivet May 27, 2022, 11:23 AM

#

Ok , so if photograpther want to use its account the OAuth is basically the only way ?

#

And "2. New account + connect onboarding using the original account." option is likely for users who does not have stripe account yet, right ?

wild orbit May 27, 2022, 11:25 AM

#

Yep, that's the recommended way!
