Check Connected Stripe Account Name

With the Stripe CLI, you can be connected one specific account at a time. When you run stripe login, the browser window where you authenticate will have you select the account that you want to connect to. This is important because it impacts test keys, webhooks, where you are sending events, etc.

To check which account you are connected to, you can look in the Stripe config file for the display_name. This is located at ~/.config/stripe/config.toml. You can have the Stripe CLI spit out the contents of that file with:

$ stripe config --list
color = ''
[default]
account_id = 'acct_123abc'
device_name = 'My-MacBook-Pro.local'
display_name = 'Internet Business'
...

Let's take this a step further. Here is a one-liner scripted version to check this value using grep, awk, and xargs:

$ stripe config --list | grep '^display_name' | awk -F'=' '{print $2}' | xargs
Internet Business

The awk command is tailored toward parsing a value from a toml file.
