Hello 👋
When you say charge is created automatically, what exactly do you mean?

You want to charge your users prior to your partner providing their services, correct?

[wet kettle]

yes is what we want but we want to pay our partner only after a confirmation from our user using a code like this

$price = $stripe->prices->create([

    'unit_amount' => 55000,
    'currency' => 'eur',
    'product_data' => [
        'name' => 'booking_id_1'
    ]

]);
$session = \Stripe\Checkout\Session::create([
    'line_items' => [[
        'price' => $price->id,
        'quantity' => 1,
    ]],
    'mode' => 'payment',
    'success_url' => 'http://localhost:8000/success-stripe',
    'cancel_url' => 'http://localhost:8000/success-failure',
    'payment_intent_data' => [
        'application_fee_amount' => 5000,
        'transfer_data' => [
            'destination' => $account->id,
        ],
    ],
]);

but in this scenario after 7 days the partner is payed automatically

we are sure we do something or we dont undestand something

*wrong

[fervent gazelle]

Do you want to control the timing of the payout OR the transfer of the amount to the connected (partner's) account?

[wet kettle]

yes

[fervent gazelle]

Which one out of the two?

[wet kettle]

the second one

[fervent gazelle]

Gotcha. In that case, you'd want to switch to Separate Charges and Transfers flow. As with destination charges, you can't control the timing of the transfer.

[wet kettle]

ok thanks, can we still use a checkout session to achieve this instead of create a payment intent?

[fervent gazelle]

You can, you'd create a checkout session as you normally would on your platform account and then create a transfer by calling the API

You can use source_transaction to link the transfers to the Charge from the successful CheckoutSession

hi, stepping in as hanzo is away. Let me know if you have any follow up questions here.

[wet kettle]

hi another question about the timing process, after a period of time from the checkout session completion money are available to our bank account (lets suppose 7 day) after this period we can use the stransfer api with the source_transaction only if our stripe balance cover the amount is this right ? or we can still pay our partner having a negative amount by our side

?

[marsh dew]

By using source_transaction, the transfer request succeeds regardless of your available balance and the transfer itself only occurs once the charge’s funds become available, https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers#transfer-availability

[wet kettle]

there is a way to "freeze" a portion of the total amount ?

lets suppose i have a checkout of 10 and need to collect 2 for me and 8 for a connected account there is a way to avoid that 8 euro to be transfered in my bank account automatically?

to make sure funds are always available at any time for my connected account

[marsh dew]

The only way this can be achieve id if you used a manual payout, https://stripe.com/docs/payouts#manual-payouts. Otherwise, with automatic payout funds would be sent according to your set schedule.

[wet kettle]

ok thanks, the last question..... fee are applied by both sides of the stripe connect process or only by my side

?

[marsh dew]

That all depends, and it's documented here for your review: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges

[wet kettle]

thank you everything is clear now

[marsh dew]

Happy to help!
