#HADES - Connect tax registration
glad basin
hey!
hope you are doing well! Just had a quick question. Is it possible to automatically set up the tax registration for a connect account through the stripe API instead of the dashboard?
Specifically, I am talking about this circled item in the picture

Got it! Yes, it's possible to create or update an account's company.registration_number via the API. Here's the creation doc: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/create#create_account-company-registration_number
and here's the endpoint for updating: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/update#update_account-company-registration_number
Looking at the dummy value question now
We have some test values for company.tax_id that might help: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing#test-business-tax-ids

So, with the registration_number, am I able to update the tax registration (circled in the image above) for a connect account?

Yes, that Dashboard setting corresponds updating the company.registration_number with an API update call: https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/update#update_account-company-registration_number

So only when the registration_number is correct, I will be able to see the changes on the dashboard, right?
I am asking because I actually tested the registration_number right now and wasn't able to update the tax registration on the dashboard. Maybe I entered it in the wrong format or maybe it just wasn't the correct registration number for a business.
