    Updating Accounts and Services Agreement Acceptance

    Learn how to update the Connect accounts you manage through the API and how to best handle acceptance of the Stripe Connected Account Agreement.

    Working with Express and Custom accounts provides platforms with a lot of power: almost every Stripe account property is available via the API.

    Platforms need to update connected Express and Custom accounts to:

    • Indicate acceptance of the Stripe Connected Account Agreement (by Custom accounts)
    • Handle identity verification (of Custom accounts)
    • Manage the connected business’s information, such as the name, logo, and URL
    • Set some charge behaviors
    • Establish payout handling

    All the above can be done through an update account call, demonstrated in the next code example, although identity verification and payouts are more complex.

    curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/accounts/{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID} \
   -u {PLATFORM_SECRET_KEY}: \
   -d metadata[internal_id]=42

    # Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
# See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
Stripe.api_key = "sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2"

acct = Stripe::Account.retrieve({CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID})
acct.metadata = {"internal_id" => 42}
acct.save

    # Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
# See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
stripe.api_key = "sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2"

acct = stripe.Account.retrieve({CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID})
acct.metadata={"internal_id": 42}
acct.save()

    // Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey("sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2");

$acct = \Stripe\Account::retrieve({CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID});
$acct->metadata = array("internal_id", 42);
$acct->save();

    // Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
Stripe.apiKey = "sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2";

Account acct = Account.retrieve({CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID});

Map<String, String> metadata = new HashMap<String, String>();
metadata.put("internal_id", 42);

Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
params.put("metadata", metadata);
acct.update(params);

    // Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
var stripe = require("stripe")("sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2");

stripe.accounts.update(
  {CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID},
  metadata: {internal_id: 42},
}).then(function(acct) {
  // asynchronously called
});

    // Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
stripe.Key = "sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2"

params := &stripe.AccountParams{}
params.AddMeta("internal_id", 42)
acct, err := account.Update({CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}, params)

    Viewing an account’s Dashboard

    Platforms can update some account settings without using the API by viewing the connected account’s Stripe Dashboard:

    1. Go to the Connected accounts section of your Dashboard.
    2. Click the ID of the connected account to use to see more details about that account.
    3. On the resulting page, click View dashboard as.

    This allows you—or your support team—to see the status of payouts, search for payments, and update some of the connected account’s information if needed. The particulars of what information can be viewed and changed depends upon the type of connected account.

    Stripe services agreement acceptance

    Stripe requires that all Custom accounts accept the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. It is your responsibility to ensure your users agree to it before accepting payments through Stripe on your platform.

    Referencing the agreement

    Your users must minimally be presented with a link to the agreement and expressly consent to the agreement prior to using Stripe, such as at the point of activating their account. For example:

    By registering your account, you agree to our Services Agreement and the Stripe Connected Account Agreement.

    Adding Stripe to your services agreement

    We also suggest you add a section to your services agreement making it clear that their acceptance of payments is provided subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. One way to achieve this is by including a clear reference and link to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement. For example:

    Payment processing services for [account holder term, e.g. drivers or sellers] on [platform name] are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to [this agreement / these terms / etc.] or continuing to operate as a [account holder term] on [platform name], you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time. As a condition of [platform name] enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide [platform name] accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize [platform name] to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.

    Indicating acceptance on their Stripe account

    To indicate to Stripe that a connected account accepted the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, perform an update account call, providing the acceptance date (as a timestamp) and user’s IP address:

    curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/accounts/{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID} \
   -u sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2: \
   -d tos_acceptance[date]=1503563544 \
   -d tos_acceptance[ip]="8.8.8.8"

# See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
Stripe.api_key = "sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2"

acct = Stripe::Account.retrieve({CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID})
acct.tos_acceptance.date = Time.now.to_i
acct.tos_acceptance.ip = request.remote_ip # Assumes you're not using a proxy
acct.save

acct.save()

    // Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
\Stripe\Stripe::setApiKey("sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2");

$acct->tos_acceptance->date = time();
// Assumes you're not using a proxy
$acct->tos_acceptance->ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$acct->save();

    Account acct = Account.retrieve({CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID});

Map<String, Object> tosAcceptanceParams = new HashMap<String, Object>();
tosAcceptanceParams.put("date", (long) System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000L);
tosAcceptanceParams.put("ip", request.getRemoteAddr()); // Assumes you're not using a proxy

Map<String, Object> params = new HashMap<String, Object>();
params.put("tos_acceptance", tosAcceptanceParams);

acct.update(accountParams);

    // Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production

  {
    tos_acceptance: {
      date: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000),
      ip: request.connection.remoteAddress // Assumes you're not using a proxy
    }
  }
);

    // Set your secret key: remember to change this to your live secret key in production
// See your keys here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/account/apikeys
stripe.Key = "sk_test_BQokikJOvBiI2HlWgH4olfQ2"
