# type on POST /v1/accounts is deprecated

Stripe API deprecated POST /v1/accounts, body parameter type without giving a shutdown date yet.

## What to use instead

Send controller (dashboard access, fee payer, losses, requirement collection) instead of type when creating connected accounts.

- API: Stripe API (api.stripe.com)
- Kind: Parameter removal
- Takes effect: no date given yet
- Calls after that day: fail
- Calls it hits: `POST /v1/accounts`, `body parameter type`
- Source: [Announcement](https://docs.stripe.com/api/accounts/create.md)
- Verified: November 6, 2026, against Stripe API's own pages
