we're using connect custom product
Gotcha and are you creating Charges on_behalf_of your Connected Account?
we havent migrated to SC&T
we are using destination charges and we are using on_behalf_of only for canadian connected accts
Got it
but with sc&t i believe we can't use on_behalf_of for canadian
So basically the funds will use the delay_days of your platform unless you use on_behalf_of in which case they will use the delay_days of your Connected Account
You can update the delay_days of your Connected Accounts via https://stripe.com/docs/api/accounts/object#account_object-settings-payouts-schedule-delay_days
Once available funds are in your Connected Account, if the account is on automatic payouts, then the funds will always be paid out according to the Payout schedule
so youre saying with SC&T we can use delay_days of the platform we can transfer can also alter the available_on date for funds to be able to payout?
Yep that would be the way to do this if you use on_behalf_of
we dont use on_behalf_of
Then it won't really work
Instead you want to hold the funds in your platform in that case
ah icic
And then transfer them when you want them paid out to the Connected Account
got it
Otherwise they will be available based on your platform delay
Will the flow look like this?
created_on date of charge: 3/1/23
available_on date: 3/3/23
created_on date of transfer: 3/3/23
available on date: 3/3/23
youre saying when we initiate the transfer is when the funds become available for payout in the connected account. so the only way we can control the payoutdate is to hold the funds in the platform and transfer when we want it to be avaliable for payout?
Overall yes.
overall?
You can actually transfer funds before they are available using source_transaction
But the date that they will be available for payout in the Connected Account will always be t+2 if that is the delay days for your platform and you don't use OBO
but that means the funds will become available after T+2
we want to hold it for 21 days so we can only transfer on that 21th day
Correct
Otherwise you put the Connected Account on manual payouts
And then you control when the payout happens
ok so i guess we will opt to hold in our platform then transfer when ready since funds become available on thesame day of transfer
1 more question
do charges only tie to platform and transfers to connected accounts?
Transfers are on your platform which will then create Charges on the Connected Account
but i thought transfers is when platform transfers to connected only...
the direct relationship between pplatform and connected
and charges can only be done by platform
isnt it first charges then transfer?
Yes
When you perform a transfer it also creates a Charge. That Charge exists on the Connected Account and is a result of creating a Transfer on the platform account
hmm so charge doesnt only tie to platform then
so the below is incorrect: Charge only ties to Platform
Transfer only ties to Connected Account
Well that is true when looking at your Platform account
But for instance you can list Charges on your Connected Account (they will actual show up as a py_xxxx ID)
Those Charges (which we oftentimes refer to as "payments") are a result of the Transfer on your platform
Transfers will only be on your platform account.
only be on the platform tied to connected accounts?
Not exactly sure what you mean by "tied to Connected Account" but yes
I think you mean that a transfer has to be associated with a Connected Account?
In that case, yes.
got it
i actually have 1 more question
with SC&T, i notice the transfer_group parameter, once we migrate would that become a clickable link where we could see the specific source_transactions that are related to that single transfer?
I assume you mean in the Dashboard?
No that isn't clickable but I do believe you can search using source_transaction and it should pull up all transfers that have that source_transaction set
I'm not an expert in the Dashboard though
I focus on the API
that wouldnt become clickable once we migrate?
do you have any idea as to where we would or could see all charges in a single transfer?
You mean all transfers related to a single Charge?
isnt it multi charges and 1 transfer?
i think theres two ways
multiple charges with a single transfer or multiple transfers with a single charge
im talking about the first
Ah yeah that is true
Hmm no I don't think there is a way to see this in the Dashboard unless you set metadata on the Charges
so do you have any idea as to where we would or could see those multi charges in the single transfer
Let me know if I can help any further
