Creating an account link returns a url valid for a short window that can be opened only once. A second open, or an open after the window lapses, lands the merchant on a Stripe page saying the link has expired. Storing that URL in the database or emailing it therefore fails nearly every time.
The refresh_url you supply exists exactly for this case: Stripe redirects there when the link is stale, and your handler is expected to mint a fresh link and redirect again. The return_url fires when the user finishes or backs out and is not proof that onboarding completed. Confirm by opening one link twice. Generate links server side at the moment the merchant clicks, and after return check details_submitted, charges_enabled and payouts_enabled on the Account.
