hello! assuming that the connected account is in the same region as your Platform account, you can create a Transfer : https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers/create

honest wagon Jan 3, 2023, 3:22 AM

#

The accounts are BR

green cliff Jan 3, 2023, 3:22 AM

#

it may not be necessary though if you use destination / direct charges :
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/destination-charges
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/direct-charges

#

Is necessary the param source_transaction, but i don't know what to provide in this parameter

green cliff Jan 3, 2023, 3:27 AM

#

what you would want to do when creating the Transfer is to include the corresponding Charge id (it'll look like ch_ or py_) in the source_transaction parameter : https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers/create#create_transfer-source_transaction

The main point to remember is that when using source_transaction, if the payment is still pending, then the transfer will pull the funds from the pending balance. If the payment is already available, then the transfer will pull the funds from the available balance.

if you don't specify the source_transaction, it'll always try to use the funds from your available balance and if the payment funds is not yet available, and you don't specify the source_transaction then you may frequently run into the problem of insufficient funds

#

to be clear though, source_transaction isn't a required parameter

#

green cliff to be clear though, `source_transaction` isn't a required parameter

This is in Brazil accounts 🥲

#

"message": "For Transfers involving Brazil, the source_transaction parameter is mandatory. See https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers for more information. If you have any question, please contact us via https://support.stripe.com/contact.

Creating separate charges and transfers

With Connect, you can make charges on your platform account on behalf of connected accounts, perform transfers separately, and retain funds in the process.

#

ah, sorry, missed out on that requirement for BR

#

then include the source_transaction

honest wagon Jan 3, 2023, 3:34 AM

#

What would this py_ ?

green cliff Jan 3, 2023, 3:35 AM

#

if it's a non-card payment, the object id will start with py_

honest wagon Jan 3, 2023, 3:37 AM

#

Ok, so, in the case of Brazilian accounts, do I have to create a charge before the transfer?

green cliff Jan 3, 2023, 3:39 AM

#

where would the funds to transfer to the connected account come from otherwise?

honest wagon Jan 3, 2023, 3:41 AM

#

The funds would come from the account that manages the app

green cliff Jan 3, 2023, 3:42 AM

#

alright, but where would the funds from the platform account (i.e. account that manages the app) come from?

honest wagon Jan 3, 2023, 3:45 AM

#

Would come from purchases of services and user subscriptions

#

Example of the use case of this transfer, a user buys a package of messages (these messages are "special"), when he sends such a message to another user, the user who receives the message also receives 50% of the value of a message

#

If the purchases of services and subscriptions are made in the platform, you will be able to set the source_transaction from those payments
