    Connect OAuth Reference

    This reference lists available public methods for our OAuth endpoints for Connect.

    The OAuth Connect flow allows you to customize the user’s experience by passing additional parameters to Stripe. Some common examples are explained below, and the rest of the reference lists every possible option.

    Prefilling fields

    Provide the best possible user experience for users needing to create a new Stripe account by prefilling the account form fields with information you already have, like the user’s email and name. Prefilling has no effect if your user already has an existing Stripe account.

    Sending to the login page

    If you know your user has a Stripe account already, use the stripe_landing parameter, with a value of login, to have Stripe show a login screen instead of the default account application.

    Dynamically setting the redirect URI

    For security purposes, Stripe only redirects a user to a predefined URI. However, Connect allows you to define more than one redirect URI, which can be used to further customize the user’s experience. For example, you could have some of your users redirected back to https://sub1.example.com and others sent to https://sub2.example.com.

    To dynamically set the redirect URI:

    1. In your platform settings, add each redirect URI.
    2. Add a redirect_uri parameter to your authorization request and set the value to one of your redirect URIs.
    https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=ca_32D88BD1qLklliziD7gYQvctJIhWBSQ7&scope=read_write&redirect_uri=https://sub2.example.com

    If no redirect_uri is set, the first URI in the list is used.

    Express account differences

    The reference information below mostly applies to both Standard and Express accounts with the following differences for Express:

    • The authorization URL is https://connect.stripe.com/express/oauth/authorize (it’s still a GET request, though).
    • You don’t need to request a scope (we’ll always return express).
    • Only these fields can be prefilled:
      • stripe_user[business_name], assuming a stripe_user[business_type] of company
      • stripe_user[business_type]
      • stripe_user[email]
      • stripe_user[first_name]
      • stripe_user[last_name]
      • stripe_user[phone_number]
    • You can only set stripe_user[business_type] to either individual (the default) or company.
    • You can only set suggested_capabilities[] to either card_payments or platform_payments.
    • You can only set assert_capabilities[] to either card_payments or platform_payments.

    GET https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/authorize

    This endpoint sends the user to Stripe to connect to your platform.

    Request

    Parameter Description
    client_id

    The unique identifier provided to your application, found in your application settings.
    response_type

    The only option at the moment is code.
    redirect_uriOptional

    The URL for the authorize response redirect. If provided, this must exactly match one of the comma-separated redirect_uri values in your application settings.

    To protect yourself from certain forms of man-in-the-middle attacks, the live mode redirect_uri must use a secure HTTPS connection.

    Defaults to the redirect_uri in your application settings if not provided.
    scopeOptional

    read_write or read_only, depending on the level of access you need.

    Defaults to read_only.
    stateOptional

    An arbitrary string value we will pass back to you, useful for CSRF protection.
    stripe_landingOptional

    login or register, depending on what type of screen you want your users to see. Only override this to be login if you expect all your users to have Stripe accounts already (e.g., most read-only applications, like analytics dashboards or accounting software).

    Defaults to login for scope read_only and register for scope read_write.
    always_promptOptional

    Boolean to indicate that the user should always be asked to connect, even if they're already connected.

    Defaults to false.

    The following query string parameters are all optional; we will use them to prefill details in the account form for new users. Some prefilled fields (e.g., URL or product category) may be automatically hidden from the user's view. Any parameters with invalid values will be silently ignored.

    state

    The value of the state parameter you provided on the initial GET request.

    In case of an error, the user's browser will not be redirected except in the case of access_denied. Instead, errors will be returned in a JSON dictionary with the following fields:

    Parameter Description
    error

    A unique error code per error type.
    error_description

    A human readable description of the error.
    state

    The value of the state parameter you provided on the initial GET request.

    Error Codes

    Parameter Description

    unsupported_response_type

    Unsupported response_type parameter. Currently the only supported response_type is code.

    POST https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/token

    This endpoint is used both for turning an authorization_code into an access_token, and for getting a new access token using a refresh_token.

    Request

    This call should be made using your secret API key as a client_secret POST parameter:

    curl https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/token \
  -d client_secret="{SECRET_API_KEY}"

    When converting an authorization code to an access token, you must use an API key that matches the mode—live or test—of the authorization code (which depends on whether the client_id used was production or development).

    When using a refresh token to request an access token, you may use either a test or live API key to obtain a test or live access token respectively. Any existing access token with the same scope and mode—live or test—will be revoked.

    Parameter Description
    grant_type

    authorization_code when turning an authorization code into an access token, or refresh_token when using a refresh token to get a new access token.
    code or refresh_token

    The value of the code or refresh_token, depending on the grant_type.
    scopeOptional

    When requesting a new access token from a refresh token, any scope that has an equal or lesser scope as the refresh token. Has no effect when requesting an access token from an authorization code.

    Defaults to the scope of the refresh token.

    Response

    Parameter Description
    access_token

    The access token you can use to make requests on behalf of this Stripe account. Use it as you would any Stripe secret API key.

    This key does not expire, but may be revoked by the user at any time (you'll get a account.application.deauthorized webhook event when this happens).
    scope

    The scope granted to the access token, depending on the scope of the authorization code and scope parameter.
    livemode

    The live mode indicator for the token. If true, the access_token can be used as a live secret key. If false, the access_token can be used as a test secret key.

    Depends on the mode of the secret API key used to make the request.
    token_type

    Will always have a value of bearer.
    refresh_token

    Can be used to get a new access token of an equal or lesser scope, or of a different live mode (where applicable).
    stripe_user_id

    The unique id of the account you have been granted access to, as a string.
    stripe_publishable_key

    A publishable key that can be used with this account. Matches the mode—live or test—of the token.

    POST https://connect.stripe.com/oauth/deauthorize

    This endpoint is used for revoking access to an account.

    Request

    This call should be made using your secret API key as an Authorization header.

    When revoking access to an account, you must use an API key that matches the mode—live or test—of the authorization code (which depends on whether the client_id used was production or development).

    Parameter Description
    client_id

    The client_id of the application that you'd like to disconnect the account from. The account must be connected to this application.
    stripe_user_id

    The account you'd like to disconnect from.

    Response

    Parameter Description
