Stripe - does not have access to account '{{XX}}' (or that account does not exist)

Question

I'm using Stripe Connect and i've successfully onboarded 3 merchants. I'm trying to generate a payment intent and i'm consistantly getting

" does not have access to account '{{acct_1FvpC4JkgwMoBOTZ}}' (or that account does not exist). " and yet the SECRET api key i'm using matches and hasn't changed. My platform clearly has the customer and merchant onboarded as well:

Merchant:

Customer:

NODE.JS Initilisation:

const stripe = require('stripe')(StripeKey);

@param CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID = acct_1FvpC4JkgwMoBOTZ

@param customerId = cus_GSe2V6snvtLlQs

Code:

exports.onDonationFinance = functions.database.ref("/Stripe/{donationId}").onCreate((snapshot,context)=>{
var amount = snapshot.child("amount").val();
var email = snapshot.child("email").val();
const CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID = snapshot.child("conn_id").val();
const customerId = snapshot.child("cus_id").val();
const id = context.params.donationId;
const token = generateToken(customerId,CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID);
if(amount===0){
    amount =250;
}else if(amount ===1){
    amount =500;
}else if(amount ===2){
    amount =1000;
}else if(amount ===3){
    amount =1500;
}
const applicationFee = Math.round((amount/100)*1.45);
stripe.customers.create({
    source: token
  }, {
    stripe_account: CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID,
  });
(async () => {

    const paymentIntent = await stripe.paymentIntents.create({
        payment_method_types: ['card'],
        amount: 1000,
        currency: 'gbp',
        application_fee_amount: applicationFee,
        customer: customerId,
      }, {
        stripe_account: CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID,
      }).then(function(paymentIntent) {
        // asynchronously called
        const clientSecret = paymentIntent.client_secret
            const donationStripeCleanup = admin.database().ref(`Stripe/${id}`)
            return admin.database().ref(`Stripe/${id}/clientSecret`).set(clientSecret);

      });



  })();
});

Android Code:

  extraParams.put("setup_future_usage", "off_session");
                                        confirmparams = ConfirmPaymentIntentParams.createWithPaymentMethodCreateParams(params,dataSnapshot.getValue().toString(), null, false, extraParams);

                                        stripe = new Stripe(MakeUserPayment.this, PaymentConfiguration.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).getPublishableKey());
                                        stripe.confirmPayment(MakeUserPayment.this,confirmparams);
                                        secretListener.removeEventListener(this);

@Param connectedAccount = test mode client ID

To generate the token:

function generateToken(customerId, connectedAccount){
    stripe.tokens.create({
        customer: customerId,
      }, {
        stripe_account: `{{${connectedAccount}}}`,
      }).then(function(token) {
        // asynchronously called
        console.log('Token :', token);
        return token;
      }).catch((error) => {
                return console.log('Token Error:', error);
           }); 

}

Token error i'm recieving: The provided key 'sk_test_hB****************************EYq3' does not have access to account '{{acct_1FvpC4JkgwMoBOTZ}}' (or that account does not exist). Application access may have been revoked.

Does anyone have any idea where i'm going wrong here? The end use case is: customer makes payment to merchant, my platform takes an application fee of that amount.

Answer 1

I got the same error in ruby because of the same (silly) mistake.

I had

Stripe::Account.create_login_link('account.id')

but should have had

Stripe::Account.create_login_link(account.id)

You're literally sending {{${connectedAccount}}} which turns into {{acct_ABCXYZ123}}, which is not correct; try this instead:

stripe.tokens.create({
    customer: customerId,
  }, {
    stripe_account: `${connectedAccount}`,
  }).then(function(token) {
