This sounds exactly like Separate Charges and Transfers: 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.

#

There's something called a transfer_group that's defined on the Charge to make sure it gets grouped before being paid out to multiple different Connect accounts

Yeah absolutely that's what I'm trying to accomplish. The problem is that it's a 3rd party vendor running the integration and they don't seem to have implemented anything using this part of the API. I'm trying to figure out if there's any way I could intercept payments (something like a webhook?) and do the transfer_group logic myself. The company is trying to figure out a way to use a 3rd party learning management system so they don't have to roll their own.

I see. transfer_group has to be set on the payment during creation, so there's not likely a way for you to intercept them and add the functionality on yourself. Changing funds flows in this way usually requires a complete overhaul unfortunately

That's what I was assuming - thank you for confirming that and for the information. Are you aware of any 3rd party vendors that integrate with stripe (regardless of functionality or industry) that provide transfer_group functionality? Would be curious if that's something I'd expect any vendor to do or if that's usually too complex for off-the-shelf solutions.

I know there are quite a few, but I wouldn't be able to point to any specifically.

Sounds good - I appreciate the responses!
