Hey!

#

You'd want to use separate charges & transfers if there are multiple connected accounts involved in a single payment: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers

Creating separate charges and transfers

With Connect, you can make charges on your platform account on behalf of connected accounts, perform transfers separately, and retain funds in the process.

#

But is there a way to transfer the money directly from one party to the other without it touching the platforms account? Like direct charges but for multiple destination accounts.

#

There is not, no. You'd need to facilitate multiple direct charges for that

#

ok, and can I then present a single checkout session with each of these charge items listed to the customer?

#

Do you mean our hosted Checkout product?

hazy niche Jul 27, 2022, 8:39 AM

#

Either that or something similar.

#

You can only create a Checkout Session for a single connected account at a time. You would need to built your own solution to handle the flow you're describing, but then it just sounds a bit messy

#

Separate charges & transfers is what you need

#

But in that case the money would first go to the platform account and then to the connected accounts, correct?

#

In theory you could create n Payment Intents for each connected account (direct charge) and confirm them under a custom UI that sums the total of each

#

But then you'd need to handle edge cases yourself. What if 1 particular payment required 3DS authentication and failed? What do you do with the rest? A lot of things for you to consider
