No, and those parameters are not on the same API

transfer data is for managing the destination charge as you say, automatically transferring some/all of the payment amount to the connected account you specify. It's on payment APIs (PI, subscription etc)

Oh, my mistake -- transfer_group is mainly only applicable when you transfers directly via the transfers API (with separate charges and transfers), apparently it is exposed on PI (and via checkout for payments too)

i wanna transfer it to 2 destinations
keen jolt
but in any case, no, its not the same
transfer_group is really just a label, it doesn't actually do anything, while transfer_data does

ahhh

You cannot automatically transfer to two destinations
You need to make two manual transfers to do that (and yes you can use transfer group to label them together)

ok if i do manually, then will it be the same?
like right after the session is completed
i create two transfers

You should read this doc here about splitting the payment with two or more accounts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers

need to do separate charges and transfers
Yep! If you poke at it now feel free to ask any questions 🙂
Note especially the charge availability and using source_transaction to ensure you can transfer while the payment is in your pending balance
(its in the doc)

Alright
