How to switch Stripe accounts after user connected/merchant accounts have already been created #1018
Description
Not sure if this is something that can be solved on the Pay gem side of things or requires Stripe API kung fu.
When I updated my stripe private/public keys in the credentials file (switching from my AU Stripe account to my US Stripe account) I got the following error when trying to generate a login link for users with current_user.merchant_processor.login_link:
The provided key 'sk_test_*********************************************************************************************yvvs1C' does not have access to account 'acct_1PUI8wPp104M9HJT' (or that account does not exist). Application access may have been revoked.
I was hoping that pay_merchant/user accounts would be able to just switch to using the new platform, but it seems they're associated/accessible only with the platform Stripe account that created them (which makes sense I guess).
Not sure what my best way forward here is other than to somehow wipe/reset the pay_merchant data for each user and have them sign up fresh with the new platform, essentially creating new connected accounts and abandoning the old ones, or whether there's a way to let the existing connected accounts operate under the new platform.
According to this Stripe support page, Connected accounts cannot be copied over, only customers: https://support.stripe.com/questions/data-that-can-be-copied-between-stripe-accounts
Individual charges, invoices, plans and subscriptions, coupons, events, logs, SEPA sources, Bacs PaymentMethods, Connected accounts, and Guest customers do not copy over.
Wondering whether there's a way where Pay detects it's hooked up to a different account and proceed accordingly by making users "re-connect"/onboard, but then I guess that opens a whole other can of worms with allowing multiple pay_merchant account details per user which is likely beyond scope.
Any advice would be appreciated!
