Hi 👋
You are referencing this method, correct?
https://stripe.com/docs/js/tokens_sources/create_token?type=cardElement
I'm happy to keep discussing Tokens but I want you to be aware we do not currently recommend this integration path. Using one of our Payment APIs is the preferred approach and will likely make accepting local payment methods (e.g. Australian banks) much easier.
https://stripe.com/docs/payments
Unfortunately, we are onboarding our users in our own platform and are mainly using the stripe API to do that
Okay so you are looking to create a bank account token?
https://stripe.com/docs/api/tokens/create_bank_account
Yes, that's what I was using before but it doesn't seem to work for banks outside of the US
Like the Australian bank, I don't see a parameter for the bsb# there
I don't think this approach was designed to work with banks outside the US but let me check
Honestly Tokens were deprecated by the time I started so I'm still playing catch up.
So are you using Custom accounts and you need to use Tokens to create the external account for payouts?
yes
If we can do it via tokens, that would help a lot.
But just in case we can't
Should I do it in another way? If so, what can you recommend?
Okay I'm looking into the Token approach.
My colleague mentioned that the BSB should work as the routing_number parameter. Can you test that out and let me know?
Sure, I'll try it out
but if that's the case, then what about canada who has these three?
I believe if you look on that very table you will see this text underneath it when you have selected Canada:
When using the API to create a bank account, combine the transit and institution numbers to create a full routing number (for example, 12345678).
oh okay thanks
For Australia using the BSB as the routing number flags an error
Can you share the request ID?
Here's how you can find a request ID: https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request
looking
thanks yeah I think that one is wrong lol
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing#account-numbers that's the one I use, let me test and check our code too I'll be back
yeah 110000 / 000123456 is what you want
it works now!
I'll try canada
I think this should work for most of the countries we support now. Thank you so much!
awesome
no they are not
For Connect + Payout they are the canonical way to collect bank account details
Hi @visual chasm I'm taking over this thread, let me know if you need any help
thanks for letting me know
