Hello 👋
Can you provide a bit more information about your use-case? Why do you think separate charges and transfers make sense to your vs direct or destination charges?

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 3:32 PM

#

I want to achieve that result:

The user book a hotel (paying total + commission 15%)
My site receive the booking confirmation
24h after the booking I pay the hotel (money has to get directly from the user who pays and not from my balance)

#

now I'm using Stripe Connect Express with Destination Charges but it doesn't seem to be working correctly and also is taken the amount from my balance

#

do you think that something like that is going to work ?

#

Gotcha. So if you want to control the timing of the transfer then yes, you'd want to use separate charges and transfers flow for this

#

can be the flow automate? I mean it would be nice to have it go when 24h after the booking date.

I don't think you can schedule a transfer out of the box with Transfers API unfortunately. You'd likely want to configure your server-side logic to trigger a transfer by calling the API once 24 hours have passed

#

the WordPress theme should have something set for it I suppose.

vapid jungle Oct 25, 2022, 3:43 PM

#

Not sure unfortunately since WordPress plugin is a third-party implementation 😦

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 3:44 PM

#

another question can I pay the final customer with the payment money (credit charge) and not with my balance?

What do you mean by final customer?

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 3:45 PM

#

traveler is paying me to book the hotel. So me paying the hotel without touch my "merchant account balance"

vapid jungle Oct 25, 2022, 3:45 PM

#

ah okay, I don't think its possible. thinking if there are any alternatives.

#

yeah pretty sure its not possible

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 3:50 PM

#

mhh are you sure about it?

#

but if I can delay the payments to the hotel. I still have to pay from my balance?

#

There is a way to not do a transfer until funds settle?

gloomy gazelle Oct 25, 2022, 4:02 PM

#

you can do a Transfer with source_transaction

#

but the funds still go through your account's balance. They are pending but still

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

so there is no way to avoid it

#

so I will pay and then I'll wait the funds to be settle in my account?

gloomy gazelle Oct 25, 2022, 4:11 PM

#

I don't understand what that sentence means. What does "so I will pay" mean? Pay who? Pay how?

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 4:15 PM

#

ah sorry, I dont know if you are able to see all conversations. I have a website similar to Airbnb. Traveler pay me + a commission then I pay the hotel

gloomy gazelle Oct 25, 2022, 4:17 PM

#

I did read this but unfortunately this is still really vague

#

you say "so I will pay" and it's unclear what that sentence could mean

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 4:19 PM

#

yes u are right. I mean if I have to pay the hotel I'm paying in advanced using my balance funds and then I will wait that the Credit Card charge did from the Travel will set in my balance?

gloomy gazelle Oct 25, 2022, 4:21 PM

#

no

#

I explained how to do this already maybe that's the part I wasn't clear on

#

If you have a Charge ch_123 in your account, and the funds are pending, you can create a Transfer with source_transaction: 'ch_123'

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 4:24 PM

#

ahhh yes now make sense 🙂 my fault

gloomy gazelle Oct 25, 2022, 4:25 PM

#

all good, I wasn't sure which part you were unclear on

#

so now the funds flow through your account but you don't have to "float" the money, it will be sent to the connected account when the funds settle and you can keep a portion for yourself

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 4:40 PM

#

Ill share with you an immage that maybe is more clear

#

that I want to achieve

gloomy gazelle Oct 25, 2022, 4:41 PM

#

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 4:41 PM

#

gloomy gazelle Oct 25, 2022, 4:45 PM

#

daring ridge Oct 25, 2022, 4:47 PM

#
