#funk101-accounts
gilded tide
you know of this code? const deleted = await stripe.accounts.del(id);
and const deleted = await stripe.customers.del(id);
?
gilded tide
does that erase ALL the accounts on stripe? I was told before that even though we delete "test data" the email still has an association that you cannot get rid of. In other words, if I delete an email and try the onboarding process again it shows up as a selection, or create a new business. Understand what I'm saying?
I though maybe this script I just posted would change that and truly delete that account associated with the email so I can test with that email again as if first time signing up, make sense?
here is the screen shot of what I'm talking about...
so, will running that script posted, will it delete that "Saved" data?
hot vector
I think you are talking about accounts deletion, not customers deletion, right?
gilded tide
well actually both, there are two different scripts
hot vector
The command only delete account with that account id, not all accounts, I believe
Account and Customer are different concepts. The screenshot is to onboard a Connected Account, which has no relation to customer
gilded tide
yes, that's an example of onboarding
yes, I know it deletes the account with that account.id
my question is, will that account show up in "Saved" information as the screenshot? I'm looking to get rid of those accounts when testing
gilded tide
I don't know the ids with that saved information. I've delted connected accounts via dashboard
so I can't see the accounts, understand?
how do I access that saved information?
hot vector
Can you somehow match the Created date?
gilded tide
are you tech support?
gilded tide
a couple of hours ago I was on with another tech, they said "even though you delete the test data, it is somehow alway saved. This is by design." I don't get it. You know anything about that?
hot vector
Can I see that conversation? Do you have a link?
gilded tide
yes
hot vector
I think the answer there didn't take into consideration of the Delete API
gilded tide
that's what I'm thinkng
hot vector
Did you try the Delete API but still see those saved information?
gilded tide
I don't know those id's for those accounts, that's my problem
is there an API to grab those accounts?
hot vector
Ahhh okie
gilded tide
and is there documentation on the delete api?
hot vector
Yes there is but it needs the Id as you said
If you go to your Connect page on Dashboard, do you see relevant accounts?
gilded tide
know,I've wasted those ones, that's the thing
gilded tide
I've been deleting test data all along
I know how
I just did it again. I will sign up with that email address, and I'll get that dialog again
hot vector
Delete all test data?
gilded tide
i just did yes
hot vector
Can you give me your account id (acct_xxx)?
gilded tide
I have no connected accounts
hot vector
to double check
gilded tide
acct_1HpH2QH2ilJfJtjQ
gilded tide
hot vector
Ah it does tell me to use the same phone number registered. That means it does find the saved information
I see
I think you could write into Support ask them if they can cleanly remove those email/phone
I think it's possible, but they are best equipped with tool to do that
gilded tide
damn
do you think if I saved account ids and ran that delete api script it would waste it?
hot vector
Not sure what means by "waste". But seems it's independent to your Stripe account
gilded tide
wasted === delete
right independent from Stripe account, that's what the other guy said, right?
where do I write to support? on the website?
ok, thanks
