How to Prefill details while onboarding express accounts?

[pras bhaskaran]

Hi,

I am following the documentation https://stripe.com/docs/connect/express-accounts

to onboard express accounts.

Eventhough I create the account with the email parameter as per the example in the official documentation:

////

const account = await stripe.accounts.create({

type: 'custom', 

 country: 'US', 

 email: 'jenny...@example.com', 

 capabilities: { card_payments: {requested: true}, 

 transfers: {requested: true}, }, });  

The onboarding page comes up with a blank email field (as attached here).  How do I get this prefilled?

The subsequent pages comes filled up ( mostly !) with the other parameters that I setup when creating an account.  

Thanks

Hello!

At the moment, it's not possible to directly pre-fill the email address in that form. Since we need to support users that have an existing account already we leave that field empty and it's up to the end user to enter the email they want to use for communications from Stripe, which is separate from the platform.

We're looking into whether we could change this in the future though to make it easier for platforms onboarding users so we're hopefully going to default to the email you passed in the API in the future instead of leaving the field empty but we don't have a firm timeline for that change just yet.

Best,

Remi
