Receiving payouts

Set up your bank account to receive payouts.

#

For accounting purposes it might make sense to just monitor payouts

#

negative and positive

#

But that's up to you

Is it possible that I could ignore a negative amount payout... e.g.: -1000 (which as far as I can tell, results when a refund occurs, but I don't know what else... perhaps also a dispute).

#

The case that is referred to in the link i think is slightly different... actually when the balance goes negative

#

Frankly speaking - I am trying to leverage my refund code and not can it, to then have to update my payouts code 🙂. But ill do whatever I have to do at the end

#

Or do you think payouts is a better resource to track either a refund, or a dispute case... and not the refunds API endpoint (and also potentially disputes API endpoint)... so as to ensure that I have one endpoint to focus on, and not create a duplicate entry (in terms of book keeping)

#

Just trying to leverage you guys... you guys are the experts... I am just a noob searching for decision advice 🙂

#

I don't use webhooks but instead - I reference the last 'created' value for all endpoints that I track and continue forward from there (for a little more context)

The page I linked is the same scenario

#

When you issue a refund and your account balance doesn't have enough to cover the refund, your account balance goes negative

#

So then a negative payout is created

#

To debit your account's bank account

#

But I think the same could happen for disputes: https://support.stripe.com/questions/handling-negative-balances-in-your-stripe-account

Ok - thanks for your feedback. This should be enough information for now. I will ponder it some more. Happy Monday.

I am starting to think that - I'll need to track the negative payout (withdrawal from other bank account) and the fact that it's associated to a refund doesn't really matter for what I am trying to do.
