Hello 👋
I don't think there are any other events unfortunately.

In what payout status does the payout.paid event trigger? The event says whenever a payout is expected to be available in the destination account is when it triggers. In the other payout events, theyre more clear like payout.failed occurs whenever a payout attempt failed. There is a paid status on a payout object that says "if the transaction goes through". Does the payout.paid event only trigger when the status is set to paid or does it trigger on other statuses?

checking..

So payout.paid is generated when Stripe sends funds to the bank

I think its still ambiguous

Does payout.paid event* (Occurs whenever a payout is expected to be available in the destination account. If the payout fails, a payout.failed notification is also sent, at a later time. )* only get generated when the payments has settled on the destination account?

What I'm trying to achieve is if I get a payout.paid event and I want to recognize that a payment has settled (money has arrived) on the destination account, what would I have to do? Does the existance of this event mean the payment has settled? Do I also need to use payout.arrival_date ?

Hi 👋 I'm stepping in for @surreal blade

As our reference docs state:

occurs whenever a payout is expected to be available in the destination account
In this case using the arrival_date would be recommended as a way to track when the funds become available.

alright. I'll have to use both the event and this field then. I wish there was just a settled event

thanks
