Hey, generally you'd create connected accounts and onboard them to your platform using the test data here: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing

"You can test your OAuth integration for Express or Standard account creation with the development client_id." Where can I look my type account?

The account type pertains to the type of connected accounts you're using, not the platform account. How are you creating accounts? https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts

I thought that accounts are created at the moment when the user goes through the procedure of connecting to my platform, and this is done automatically. Or do I need to create accounts for some user myself?
Can I create an express account for each user?
mystic ingot
that really really depends on if you're using OAuth https://stripe.com/docs/connect/oauth-express-accounts or not https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts
you should never use OAuth for Express as there's no reason to and it just makes the integration more error-prone. So you should use the second link, which is, you call the API to create the account(it's already connected to your account immediately), then you redirect the user to an onboarding where they claim the account and fill in the required info.

https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts#create-link How can I get a stripe account id for step 3?
mystic ingot
it's returned in step 2
e.g. const account = await stripe.accounts.create({type: 'express'}); in Node;
the ID would be account.id

Which is a structure and method request?

I don't understand what you're asking
