hello, i wanna ask can i use payout method for split payment purposes as i am getting error of account id while doing payout api call
dan told me to use transfer method but top-up fund option is only available in US. so i cannot use this. so what will be the easy way to make a split payment using api

Can you share the request ID (req_xxx) that is returning an error? You can find it here https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/logs

Can you clarify exactly what you are trying to do?
Are you trying to send money to a connected account? Or to make a payout on a connected account? Or something else?

i want to send payment to connected account

Then you should use a Transfer: https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers/create

but there is no supported api to topup funds in connected account
barren dove
You can add money to your own platform in test mode (if needed), and then transfer the funds to the connected account.

what about live mode?
i've tried transfer method but getting insufficient funds error.
barren dove
Yes in live mode you need to have enough funds in order to do a transfer, which makes sense.

but top-up is only supported in US so i cannot use this

So your goal is to add money to your platform account, and you are not in the US? It's not possible with the API, but might be possible with the Stripe dashboard. For this you should contact Stripe support: https://support.stripe.com/contact
