the pending balance of a connected account maps to payouts that have "pending" status, right? how about the available balance? what does it map to? "in_transit"???

let's say a connected account has the following payouts, $5 pending, $7 in_transit, $9 canceled. What's his balance of connected account? how much are pending and how much are available?

slow down

pending balance is money that is not available yet(it takes a while to be available for payouts, depending on country https://stripe.com/docs/payouts#standard-payout-timing )

available balance is money that is now available to make a payout . That value is usually empty if you're on automatic daily payouts(the default), since we just move the pending balance into a payout immediately to get it to you quickly and you never accumulate a 'sitting' available balance

the pending balance of a connected account maps to payouts that have "pending" status, right?
AFAIK, not exactly. The money moves from the pending balance, to the amount in the payout (we create the payout a few days in advance using pending balance since it takes time to transfer to your bank account)

how about the available balance? what does it map to? "in_transit"???
nothing, available balance is not part of any payout, it's just sitting there

let's say a connected account has the following payouts, $5 pending, $7 in_transit, $9 canceled. What's his balance of connected account? how much are pending and how much are available?
I'm not really able to answer that, it's really complicated and not something that's easy to answer in a quick Discord question.

can I say that payouts with status = paid are not part of available or pending balance?

I'm trying to show the following to the connected account, let me know if I'm doing the right thing.

I've set a weekly auto-payout on Wednesday. So all payments in the preceding week should paid out on Wed (as in US, 2-day waiting period).

Say today's Tuesday. Payout will be made tomorrow of all payments received last week. but earnings on Monday and Tuesday will be paid next Wed. So the left number is the amount accumulated to be paid out next Wed. The middle number is what to be paid tomorrow. And the right number is the total paid out so far.

yeah this is a bit beyond me unfortunately, balances are really hard to understand and I'm not really able to deep dive into this

it's easy enough if you use the defaults, but by using a custom payout schedule like that (every Wednesday) it gets too complicated for me to be able to work with without solely focussing on it and talking to colleagues for a while (I'm answering 7 other Discord threads), sorry
