Hello! I'm sorry I have no idea what you are asking 😅
what do you call a "kind of payout split"
visual sky
so I'm guessing payouts are split evenly between two people
does stripe even have the ability to do that
I'm looking at the https://dashboard.stripe.com/payouts and only see payout history
blissful slate
Like you have one Stripe account and want to split all the balance in 2 bank accounts?
if so that is not possible today no
visual sky
yea exactly ^ according to them they had that system set up
what would be the method that stripe uses to payout
maybe it's some kind of logic they implemented in the codebase
blissful slate
you can't have more than one bank account on a normal Stripe account
not unless they use Stripe Connect
visual sky
how would I check if they used
Stripe Connect
it looks like they have a debit and bank account linked
two different type show up here in the payout history
blissful slate
Maybe they have a bank account and a separate debit card?
visual sky
yes
blissful slate
At this point I'd recommend chatting with our support team instead: https://support.stripe.com/contact
visual sky
I believe so
Okay sounds good I'll reach out to them thanks buddy
Yea this definitely seems less code related
blissful slate
yeah! Good luck!
visual sky
thanks lol.
just to confirm, there is no method in the stripe that can distribute payouts
austere valley
👋 taking over here
I don't think there is. But you can reach out to Support and they would be able to assist in more detail!
visual sky
Okay sounds good
quick question
is there another way to do payouts
other than
const payout = await stripe.payouts.create({
amount: 1000,
currency: 'usd',
method: 'instant',
}, {
stripeAccount: '{{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
});
I'm looking into a new codebase, but don't see this type of code anywhere in the codebase
@austere valley
austere valley
Yes I am looking at it
What do you mean by different way? I believe this is the only syntax
visual sky
is there any other syntax that would do instant payouts or is there a way this would be configured in the dashboard?
austere valley
There are Automatic Payout and Manual Payout. Code above is Manual Payout.
If that's what you are interested in
visual sky
is that somewhere in the stripe portal?
austere valley
In Stripe Dashboard, yes
Instant Payout is another thing inside Manual Payout (a paid feature)
visual sky
stripe.payouts.create
is the .payouts part of this object arbitrary?
oh here would I find that tab or link
visual sky
my bad
in this code
const payout = await stripe.payouts.create({
amount: 1000,
currency: 'usd',
method: 'instant',
}, {
stripeAccount: '{{CONNECTED_STRIPE_ACCOUNT_ID}}',
});
is the .payouts arbitrary
like can the dev name is something else
and maybe that
that's why I can't find this specific syntax in the code base
austere valley
you mean .payouts part inside await stripe.payouts.create?
Yes it's necessary
as long as you are using Node.js
visual sky
Yes .payout inside stripe.payouts.create
okay so the dev can't change it and name it something else like
stripe.paypay.create
austere valley
Yes, of course
visual sky
Okay just making sure heheh, I can't seem to find any place in the code where the dev used this stripe.payouts.create syntax for payouts yet I see the payout in the stripe dashboard
austere valley
So it's maybe an Automatic Payout
Because Automatic Payout means ... automatic. Your dev don't need to write code
visual sky
that might be the case
would that be a support question
checking if they have that feature enabled
austere valley
Do you have the Payout Id ? po_xxx
austere valley
Test mode of Live mode?
For Live mode look here: https://dashboard.stripe.com/payouts
For Test mode: https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/payouts
Click on the Payout you want to know, then look at the description
austere valley
po_1LaUSwCSBkIc5CSmxVfKZa30 is Automatic, po_1LaL1QCSBkIc5CSmNIvVoHMg is manual, created via Dashboard: https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_CgVQodDyOFIUPw
None of them were from code, so maybe that's the reason you don't find a relevant stripe.payouts.create code
visual sky
Ahhh! finally found the answer. Thanks buddy yes that's what I was wondering about.
Yea that would make a ton of sense
austere valley
You are welcomed!
visual sky
Is there any place I could have been able to find that? just curious
