hi! most likely the accounts are being created in the default country, which is your platform's country. Easy fix is to pass a country to https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create#create_account-country

ah I see. is there a way to easily grab the user's country dynamically?

#

alternatively make sure you have other countries turned on in https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/settings/connect/express as I think then the user gets a choice in the onboarding

you could ask them in your UI, or geoIP them, asking is usually more reliable though

got it I believe I have most countries enabled

#

does stripe have any sample implementation for cross-border payouts through stripe express?

#

I don't think so but we do have guides and examples for Express in general, if there's a specific part that is tricky let me know and we can try to help!

Got it. thank you!

#

I think this would be an extremely helpful addition to the docs btw

#

https://stripe.com/docs/connect/service-agreement-types#:~:text=A recipient service agreement clarifies,example%2C request the card_payments capability.

Service agreement types

A service agreement establishes the relationship between Stripe and the platform's users.

#

what could we add specifically? in the code snippet on that page the create account API example passes country:SG

#

I think some explicit copy mentioning that a country outside of the platforms home country must be passed in

#

that wasn't clear to me
