Hi
Payouts is for you to receive money to your own bank account.

Can you use this to payout customers who earn like a commission?
Can you please give more details about this use case by a concrete example

Refund API, is to refund a customer after a existing successful Payment.

[icy viper]

For sure. I think i'm looking for a API version of this:

https://stripe.com/connect/payouts

Essentially, we have folks sign up and pay us , we do marketing for them, if successful we then give them a payout

[devout perch]

Yes that could be achievable

First of all you need to check the Connect guide :
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
And choose an Account and charge type.

[icy viper]

sweet. And this can all be done programattically?

[devout perch]

Yes kind of depending on the choices you'll be making...

ideally you start a test integration :
https://stripe.com/docs/connect/testing
And test your design/integration...

[icy viper]

interesting. Is Connect included with all Stripe accounts?

Sorry, did some research, looks like you have to "opt in" when setting up a account

[devout perch]

It depends on the account's country.... check the guides I shared with you above and start studying an integration

[icy viper]

sweet thanks

So one thing I'm unsure about from these docs - can you setup a account as Express / Custom and trigger the payout further down the road? From the docs it seems like its instant upon payment received

[devout perch]

yes you can configure automatic payouts or create manually instant payout if it applicable,

I invite you to start creating a test integration in your test stripe environment:
