Thanks, I'm working on a stripe app to support payouts to multiple bank accounts for the stripe users. If I create the payout intents dynamically for the customer is there any major concerns I should be aware of?
I was hoping to be able to support bank transfers in the same way, but don't know if customers would be willing to 'pay' them selves then have the payouts go through the dymanic payout process I'm trying to setup.

What do you mean by payout intents? Are you referring to payouts, https://stripe.com/docs/api/payouts?
What concerns do you foresee?

yes. I would be submitting any where between 1 and about 10 payout requests on behalf of a customer each with a different amount and bank destination. They would all come in pretty much at the same time, and would add up to the total balance available to be paid out.
I know there's a minimum payout amount, but didn't know if this use case had any other gotchas.

I see, I want to clarify that only external account attached to the connected account can be payed out. To learn more about Stripe Payout, please visit https://stripe.com/docs/payouts
Yes, to your point, total available balance is the restriction here. Another thing to point out is that with manual payout, reporting can get a bit tough. With automatic payout, all transaction included in that payout is clear: https://support.stripe.com/questions/find-what-transactions-were-included-in-or-impacted-a-payout-amount

That’s makes sense. So within a payout request executed manually there is no direct linkage to the transaction where the payout originated.
It would be possible for me to take a best guess using transactions since the last payout and include them all in a single payout from my application? Since I’m reality I’m just doing a full payout with different destinations I think that would be ok.

You can guess and track this on your end yes.
