Stripe API - Bank Account Validation ACH

[trevor]

Im adding a way for a user to add and validate their bank account via stripe to run ACH payments.

When trying to run the call:

https://api.stripe.com/v1/customers/[CUSTOMER_ID]/sources/[BANK_ACCOUNT_ID]/verify

I get a returned response error:

Raw response for the API
“{\n “error”: {\n “type”: “invalid_request_error”,\n “message”: “You must provide the ‘amounts’ parameter as an array of two integers.”\n }\n}\n”

So, i add in Amounts as a parameter in the parameter section…and add the two test amounts—> then it gives me a content type error:

Raw response for the API
"{\n “error”: {\n “type”: “invalid_request_error”,\n “message”: “Invalid request (check that your POST content type is application/x-www-form-urlencoded). If you have any questions, we can help at https://support.stripe.com/."\n }\n}\n”

So, i add in the header::: Content-Type = application/x-www-form-urlencoded

and it still gives me the same error as if i didnt enter the content type information correctly.

Has anyone been able to get the Stripe API to Verify a bank account to work?

I figured it out. just needed to use the json body instead of the normal parameter.

Hey @trevor,

You could also take advantage of Stripe.js to do the same and more.

I use the Stripe.JS plugin… but last i looked the Stripe.js plugin didnt have the ability to verify bank accounts for ACH charges. I was able to get it all working though with the use of your plugin. Thanks for your great work. It definitely makes life easier.
