You should just be able to create a test payment using the card 4242424242424242 which would then become immediately available in the platform balance.

#

That's exactly what I did.

#

I'm using the Distribution Fee flow...so the funds go into the main account and then a transfer pushes funds (minus fees) to the Connect account.

#

But the funds in the Connect account are not available.

#

It's the connect account I'm trying to perform the payout from, not the platform account.

#

Ahhh, okay. Do you have an account ID for the connected account?

#

The thing I'm trying to figure out is how (or if it's possible) to associate the Connect payout back to the original payment intent/charge that funded the payout. Do you have any idea if the payout can be tracked back to the original payments that provided the source funds?

#

Huh, that's strange. I'm not sure why the balance is pending

🪲 ?

#

My guess is that test mode is replicating live mode perfectly, since there is a 7-day delay on each accounts first payout

This unfortunately can get really complicated really fast. As far as I can tell, the only way to do this is if the account is on automatic payouts, because Stripe will bundle each payout with the relevant charges

sudden quarry Dec 14, 2022, 7:44 PM

#

That was my fear...was hoping to not wait 7 days to test this.

#

Yes, it will be on automatic payout, so might be possible.

#

Do you know the path to get from the payout to the charges? I didn't see that in the docs

#

We show an example of this here in the docs: https://stripe.com/docs/expand/use-cases#charges-in-payout

#

The connect case is below the non-connect case

#

Perfect thanks!

unborn dock Dec 14, 2022, 7:59 PM

#

NP!

sudden quarry Dec 14, 2022, 8:04 PM

#

It seems to me that as soon as somebody makes a manual payout, it will throw the system off though. Is that an accurate statement? Or will the payouts be able to get back on track with the charges?

#

I guess my concern is that we're setting up a fragile system that may provide inaccurate information.

unborn dock Dec 14, 2022, 8:05 PM

#

There would be a period of disruption, yes, but you control whether this is possible for your accounts

sudden quarry Dec 14, 2022, 8:06 PM

#

OK, cool, thanks, trying to understand the risks.
