Hello 👋 Let's chat here

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:38 PM

#

hey HAnzo

solar carbon Oct 24, 2022, 3:38 PM

#

I am working with Chris on it but need to get a tech response ASAP

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:38 PM

#

can I PM you a video of the situation?

solar carbon Oct 24, 2022, 3:38 PM

#

You can post the video here if it doesn't have any sensitive information

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:38 PM

#

There might be private data about the app in the video and I don't want to make it public

#

its a link to a vidyard recording

#

Got a quick question. For our Loveland project. Would it be possible to move the "deploy payment" button to our admins instead of the therapists?

solar carbon Oct 24, 2022, 3:42 PM

#

Sorry, our team wouldn't have any context about your platform/project unfortunately.

Our team works with developers building apps using our APIs on various channels (including discord). If you have a representative of Stripe working with you on this project then I'd recommend talking to them about this

#

if you have any specific questions related to our APIs, I'm more than happy to help 🙂

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:45 PM

#

my question is to do with releasing ACH payments from a platform to the recipients account

#

can the recipient "pre-approve" releasing payments so the system admin can release payments directly?

Hi 👋

#

I'm stepping in as @solar carbon needs to go

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:49 PM

#

cool

#

hi

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 3:49 PM

#

What APIs are you using?

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:49 PM

#

can i dm you a vidyard recording?

#

we are using connect API

#

the platform has 3 user types

#

participant, Service giver, admin

#

the admin pays the service giver directly via ACH

#

The service giver delivers to a participant and records the "sessions" and durations on the platform we built.

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

And you are sending the ACH payment through Stripe?

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:53 PM

#

yes

#

The service giver sets up a "mini stripe" account connecting to their bank account

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

So what about the Stripe API interactions do you need to "pre-approve"

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

the admin pays from "admin stripe bank" to service giver stripe via ACH

#

I was told we needed to have an extra step where the service giver clicks a button to recieve the payment

#

I want the admin to click a single button to release payments to ALL service givers at once

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

Is the service provider another Stripe account that your platform is transferring funds to?

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

The vidyard explains it better

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:56 PM

#

agile igloo Is the service provider another Stripe account that your platform is transferrin...

will be yes. We are asking them to set it up when registering

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

In that case, as long as the Platform <-> Connect Account relationship is established you should be okay to programmatically transfer funds to multiple Connect Accounts

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 3:58 PM

#

so service receiver won't have to press a button to receive funds?

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 4:01 PM

#

I don't know what buttons you are talking about. Those would be parts of your app that you build.

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 4:01 PM

#

yes thats why I want to send you the video

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 4:01 PM

#

I just know what Stripe APIs would be interacted with

#

Seeing it in a video wouldn't matter because clicking a button tells me nothing

#

I just know what APIs you would hit

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 4:04 PM

#

we want to release payments from our bank account to multiple bank accounts automatically

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

Okay well transfers would go from your Stripe Account balance to the Connect Account's Stripe Account

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

would my conenct account "auto fund" from my bank account

#

we are doing around £19m a year in billings

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 4:07 PM

#

You could programmatically top up the Platform account from the bank account and then disperse funds via transfers. But would it be easier to accept payments through Stripe and pay out service providers before the funds settle in your bank account?

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 4:07 PM

#

cant work that way as te money comes in from government

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 4:07 PM

#

Ah, okay

#

Sot it's not exactly the same but that is kind of like this funds flow: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers#collecting-fees

#

You (the Platform) get paid (by the gov't) for some service. This service is provided by independent Connect Accounts. You transfer funds from your Platform Account to their Connect Accounts for those services

#

As long as the service providers have their bank accounts connected to their Stripe account they will get paid out automatically.

#

(Once you transfer the funds to their Stripe Accounts)

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 4:13 PM

#

yes, thats it

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 4:14 PM

#

Okay. So in that case I would recommend you review the documentation I linked above and simply focus on the details about transfers to Connect Accounts.

polar bough Oct 24, 2022, 4:15 PM

#

yes doing that now, thanks for the help

agile igloo Oct 24, 2022, 4:15 PM

#

Happy to do it 🙂
