How can I get the Stripe id (acct_XXXXXXX) of previously created account?

[Tim Bellay]

Hi,

Upon creating non-managed Stripe connect accounts using a given email address, sometimes a user will already have a stripe account associated with that email and then the creation will fail. 

Is there a way to get the Stripe account id (the one, of the form acct_XXXXXXX) so that we can create transfers with application fee using the previously created stripe id as a destination account? It's not obvious given in the account web dashboard and I've only been able to see it there in logs of accounts successfully created with the API. 

Thanks

Tim

If an account is already created for that email, the user would have to connect their Stripe account to your platform via the Stripe Connect OAuth process: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/standalone-accounts
