Hello, I’m trying to find someone to answer some pre-sales questions.

howdy folks, i have a reconciliation-type question and i'm wondering if i should open a support ticket or ask here

\exit

ahhh

sorry.

any Stripers around to answer a question about adding bank accounts to a recipient?

dylanbathurst: I can help you out in a few minutes

Cool. I’ll just throw my question in here and you can get to when you have a minute. Thanks man!

When I create a bank token in Stripe.js and then submit that token to my back-end node/express app. Using the stripe node-module, can I add the bank account to a recipient using the bank account token itself? Or do I need to submit the bank routing/account/name to my back-end and add it to the recipient that way?

I realized I'm using stripe js v1 in my rails app. Any risks in changing that to v2?

stripestephen: you shouldn't have issues, but I'd test in development first

dylanbathurst: you should be able to create a recipient and attach a token

awesome. The docs made it seem like that couldn’t be done. Thanks man.

dylanbathurst: https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_recipient "bank_account optional, default is null

A bank account to attach to the recipient. You can provide either a token, like the ones returned by Stripe.js, or a associative array containing a user's bank account details, with the options described below."

is there a good way to simulate accounts being cancelled for non payment in test mode?

specifically trying to reproduce the case where there are failed charges outstanding and updating the CC on record attempts to resolve those charges immediately

patrickod: you could set up plans that renew every week and then add one of the test cards that will fail (or add one that succeeds and change it to one that fails)

this would still require waiting until the subscription is cancelled though right?

Hi! Does stripe have any way to debit a bank account?

patrickod: yea, you could simulate it but it would take a couple of days depending on your retry schedule

As in, instead of debiting a credit card, and perhaps using ACH

mhurwi: nope

how do you mean 'simulate it'?

mhurwi: my simulate it was directed at another person, the answer to your query is Stripe does not support ACH debits

got it

another question: if my Stripe account balance is low, is there a way to get money into my account?

aside from taking in payments via credit card

mhurwi: nope

why would you be concerned about a low stripe balance?

oh

well, we are trying to figure out a way to collect payments via users through ACH

and though an alternative might be to use Stripe oAuth, and have users create stripe accounts

or something

but we might look into a different api to handle the ACH debits

our client is concerned about the transaction fee for a segment of their customers

Stripe people: Is Christian around? I've sent him a couple emails about bitcoin problems -- just want to make sure he's not on vacation or otherwise unavailable this week.

mhurwi: you cannot collect money from other people's stripe account

thanks, looks like i understand it better now

nm, he just replied

cperciva: coolio, have fun with your Bitcoin! (I played around with Stripe bitcoin, its pretty nice)

markin: I was the first user ;-)

Nice!
