Dwolla and Plaid integration issues

API Support

Hey there,

Getting a validation error when creating a funding source based on Plaid’s processor_token.

{  
   "code":"ValidationError",
   "message":"Validation error(s) present. See embedded errors list for more details.",
   "_embedded":{  
      "errors":[  
         {  
            "code":"Invalid",
            "message":"Token is invalid.",
            "path":"/plaidToken",
            "_links":{  

            }
         }
      ]
   }
}

Do I need to somehow enable the Plaid integration on Dwolla side as well?

Thanks,
Vahe

@evoyan, We’re actively working with Plaid to investigate an issue with the Sandbox accepting a processor_token from Plaid. Apologies for the inconvenience, I’ll be sure to post back with any updates!

Hey @spencer, I’m having the same “HTTP 400: Bad Request” issue as of this morning. I’ve been trying with new processor tokens but the validation error still says my token is invalid each time. Any updates?

@kard, This should be fixed as of around noon yesterday. Sorry for the delay in getting resolution too this issue!

@spencer is this a known issue for attempting to use Plaid “development” mode with Dwolla “Production” mode? Do we need to move Plaid into “production” mode to work with Dwolla “Production”?

Unable to create Funding Sources using Plaid token

Hi @vanmeter.developer, I wouldn’t classify it specifically as an issue with the integration. Plaid has a third environment that unfortunately Dwolla doesn’t map to which allows you to test in a limited fashion with real data. Dwolla only has Sandbox for testing and Production for when your app is approved to go-live and create real data. In order to use Plaid with real data then you’ll need to be approved to call the Dwolla production API.

Awesome, sounds good. Thanks for the info. Cheers!

Hi @spencer I am experiencing this same issue. I create a dwolla customer, then use a public token from plaid to create a plaid access token. when I try to create a dwolla payment source using the plaid access token and item id i get the following response:

​​​​
code: “Invalid”
​​​​​​​
message: “Token is invalid.”
​​​​​​​
path: “/plaidToken”
​​​​​​​

​​I have the first level of plaid account and sandbox level of dwello. The token I create is a valid one of the format i.e. access-sandbox-161c86dd-d470-47e9-a741-d381c2b2cb6f
but the error happens every time.

Thank you for any advice on how to resolve this error.

Is the access-sandbox token that plaid generates different from the processor-sandbox token which plaid generates?
plaid seems to have no docs on the processor-sandbox token

the token error which is not of the format of the INVALID_PROCESSOR_TOKEN documented in plaid? the description of the token makes it seem like the one in the dwolla-plaid-intergration post but the error doesn’t match and the tokens im providing (which are being generated fresh each time) are deemed not valid.

turns out I was trying to use the access_token. the correct order of steps to create a dwolla funding source using plaid link is as follows:
STEP 1: FIRST WE INIT OUR APPTOKEN WITH DWELLO
STEP 2: WE CREATE A NEW CUSTOMER ON DWELLO
STEP 3: WE CREATE A PLAID ACCESSTOKEN USING A PLAID PUBLICTOKEN
STEP 4 CREATE PLAID PROCESSORTOKEN FROM ACCES TOKEN
STEP 5: we use our plaid PROCCESSORTOKEN to create a dwolla funding source
