Cascade Broke Stripe Connect Setup
Expert payout functionality is broken after Cascade refactored Stripe Connect integration. The OAuth flow fails, experts cannot complete Stripe account linking, and payouts cannot be processed. This directly impacts expert earnings and platform trust.
Cascade likely modified the OAuth callback handling or token storage without understanding Stripe's requirements.
Error Messages You Might See
Common Causes
- Cascade changed OAuth redirect URI without updating Stripe dashboard configuration
- Authorization code exchanged for token but token not stored or stored incorrectly
- Cascade removed refresh token handling for long-lived access
- Connected account ID not properly associated with user account
How to Fix It
Verify OAuth redirect URI matches Stripe dashboard. Ensure authorization code is exchanged for access token immediately. Store connected account ID and access token securely (encrypted). Implement token refresh before expiration. Test OAuth flow end-to-end with Stripe test account. Verify expert profile shows connected Stripe account.
