Hello again Rubeus!
azure talon
👋 Can you provide more details? Send money directly to a connected account from where?
knotty wharf
im not sure i understand your question haha
i have a bunch of accounts connected to my platform in the "connect" tab, i just want to send someone money
azure talon
Right. Where's the money coming from?
azure talon
It sounds like you probably want separate charges and transfers: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers
But it's hard to say for sure without knowing more about your use case. How did the money get into your Stripe balance?
knotty wharf
this is the text i see while hovering "add funds" on a connect account
azure talon
Yeah, you can't do cross-border Transfers generally.
Can you tell me what you're trying to build at a high level so I can give you better recommendations?
knotty wharf
im basically creating an affiliate system
(what i want to achieve)
an item gets sold, if billgates was the referrer, ill add that to the checkout metadata, once a month, i run through all payments and send billgates his cut, 10% per item for example
so i need to be able to send money to anyone that is connected to my stripe account
azure talon
Yeah, sounds like you want separate charges and transfers then, but you need to read about the limitations on cross-border transfers: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-capabilities#transfers-cross-border
knotty wharf
So what do i need to do to send money from EU to US?
azure talon
That's explained in the docs I just linked to. You would need to create a Stripe account in the US to handle that (and you may also need to create a legal entity in the US to back the Stripe account).
knotty wharf
this is not needed when using on_behalf_of?
azure talon
Not sure I understand what you mean. on_behalf_of specifies the merchant of record for a transaction and is somewhat tangential to the current topic.
I recommend you reach out to Stripe support with a detailed explanation of your use case, the countries involved, and the funds flows you want. They'll be able to give you a much better idea of what your options are: https://support.stripe.com/contact/email
