It sounds like you want to look at separate charges and transfers:
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers

Can you explain more about what you mean by this part:

so that it can only be used for transfers to connected accounts

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.

#

Using that pattern, along with manual payouts for your platform, you're entirely in control of when funds are transferred to connected accounts

ok let me explain a visual way...

I have an Amazon type app, this app is in charge of trading products, marketplace type. Basically the process is: a buyer pays for their shopping cart, this money reaches stripe and then each buyer must confirm that their product has successfully reached its destination. Once the user confirms, the money is transferred to all the sellers (the connected accounts).

What I want to know is if it is possible to retain the money so that it does not leave Stripe, that it remains as a retained balance only for those transfers, that said money cannot be manipulated by anyone else.

Yes, using the above documented flows

#

You determine when and how much to transfer to each connected account (seller)

#

This link does not tell me how to withhold the part of the payment, it tells me how to transfer and how to handle the payment in case there is no available balance

#

you withhold payment by not creating the transfer

#

until your conditions are met to create the transfer

#

ie, you insert a delay between collecting payment from the customer and sending transfers to your sellers
