Hi 👋

#

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.

Unfortunately, we are onboarding our users in our own platform and are mainly using the stripe API to do that

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

charred monolith
#

I don't think this approach was designed to work with banks outside the US but let me check

#

sa the card token was only meant for US?

#

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?

visual chasm
#

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?

charred monolith
#

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?

visual chasm
#

Sure, I'll try it out

#

but if that's the case, then what about canada who has these three?

charred monolith
#

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?

#

thanks yeah I think that one is wrong lol

#

yeah 110000 / 000123456 is what you want

visual chasm
#

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

visual chasm
#

So are tokens really depceciated

#

or not yet?

granite slate
#

no they are not

#

For Connect + Payout they are the canonical way to collect bank account details
