you don't send payouts to a connected account (acct_xxx), you send transfers to send money to the account, and then call that Payouts API on behalf of the connected account (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication#stripe-account-header) if you want to manually make a payout on them
which part specifically are you looking to test, how much have you built already, do you have a lot more details about the overall context?

i have an apartment rent app
so when they first come
they need to pay security fee
when they leave, if everything is fine, we will give back the security fee
so i want to automate this
some of them request to pay them in different back account
so i cant use refund

I see. Well that will be quite complicated really
I would suggest maybe just not having that feature for now, and telling them you can only refund to the payment method they used.
if you really want to support this though, you'd have to build a full Connect integration (https://stripe.com/docs/connect/collect-then-transfer-guide for example) to onboard the users as Stripe accounts, verify their identities, and manage all that, before you can think about sending them funds. Seems like overkill to me if you're not using Connect for another part of the business

also i have a business partner who lent me their property for my app
every month i pay them fix amount
they have stripe account, so how can i automate this as well
