Class: Stripe::Account

Overview

For new integrations, we recommend using the Accounts v2 API, in place of /v1/accounts and /v1/customers to represent a user.

This is an object representing a Stripe account. You can retrieve it to see properties on the account like its current requirements or if the account is enabled to make live charges or receive payouts.

For accounts where controller.requirement_collection is application, which includes Custom accounts, the properties below are always returned.

For accounts where controller.requirement_collection is stripe, which includes Standard and Express accounts, some properties are only returned until you create an Account Link or Account Session to start Connect Onboarding. Learn about the differences between accounts.

Class Method Details

.create(params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

With Connect, you can create Stripe accounts for your users. To do this, you'll first need to register your platform.

If you've already collected information for your connected accounts, you can prefill that information when creating the account. Connect Onboarding won't ask for the prefilled information during account onboarding. You can prefill any information on the account.

def self.create(params = {}, opts = {})
  request_stripe_object(method: :post, path: "/v1/accounts", params: params, opts: opts)
end

.delete(account, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

With Connect, you can delete accounts you manage.

Test-mode accounts can be deleted at any time.

Live-mode accounts that have access to the standard dashboard and Stripe is responsible for negative account balances cannot be deleted, which includes Standard accounts. All other Live-mode accounts, can be deleted when all balances are zero.

If you want to delete your own account, use the account information tab in your account settings instead.

.reject(account, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

With Connect, you can reject accounts that you have flagged as suspicious.

Only accounts where your platform is liable for negative account balances, which includes Custom and Express accounts, can be rejected. Test-mode accounts can be rejected at any time. Live-mode accounts can only be rejected after all balances are zero.

end

.update(account, params = {}, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

Updates a connected account by setting the values of the parameters passed. Any parameters not provided are left unchanged.

For accounts where controller.requirement_collection is application, which includes Custom accounts, you can update any information on the account.

For accounts where controller.requirement_collection is stripe, which includes Standard and Express accounts, you can update all information until you create an [Account Link or Account Session](https://docs.stripe.com/api/account_links) to start Connect onboarding, after which some properties can no longer be updated.

To update your own account, use the Dashboard. Refer to our Connect documentation to learn more about updating accounts.

#serialize_params(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Somewhat unfortunately, we attempt to do a special encoding trick when serializing additional_owners under an account: when updating a value, we actually send the update parameters up as an integer-indexed hash rather than an array. So instead of this:

field[]=item1&field[]=item2&field[]=item3

We send this:

field[0]=item1&field[1]=item2&field[2]=item3

There are two major problems with this technique:

* Entities are addressed by array index, which is not stable and can
  easily result in unexpected results between two different requests.

* A replacement of the array's contents is ambiguous with setting a
  subset of the array. Because of this, the only way to shorten an
  array is to unset it completely by making sure it goes into the
  server as an empty string, then setting its contents again.

We're trying to get this overturned on the server side, but for now, patch in a special allowance.
