Hey TS, how are you?

So, we're planning a member get member strategy, which should give something like "bonus credits" to our customers

At first glance we thought about giving credits to our customer's stripe wallet

But I can't find something like that, I was reading about payouts and that kind of stuff

Is there something in stripe to deal with this kind of situation?

I'm going to need way more details in order to answer this. What is a "member get member" strategy? What is the desired flow of funds?

Please include a step-by-step guide for how you want money to flow into and out of your Stripe account, so I can understand what you're trying to do

Ok, so basically we have a subscription service, which is able to train and predict stuff with machine learning.
Our intention is to allow members to invite people to our service, and when someone you invited becomes a member you'll get credits with our app

So there'd be no cash flow within person A actions, only the bonus being credit to that person wallet

And there'd be a basic cash flow, which we alredy deal with in person B process

What I'm trying to figure out is if Stripe can deal with this bonus, or if we should deal with it in our database

I see, okay. How are you intending to use the credits? We have the Customer credit balance, which will reduce the amount on the next Invoice of Customer A's Subscription, but if you're looking for more functionality than that, then you'd probably have to track these credits on your end: https://stripe.com/docs/billing/customer/balance

Some limitations are listed here: https://stripe.com/docs/invoicing/customer/balance#working-with-credit-balances

Yeah, it shouldn't interfere with stripe invoice

In other words we'll build it in our end! Thank you very much dude, have a nice one
