Hi again sandy

[willow sail]

hi lol

[autumn tangle]

transfer_group is just for your own record keeping an organization for "bundles" of charges and transfers tha represent a single business operation, it has no other use or purpose

[willow sail]

can it track what orders are involved?

[autumn tangle]

What do you mena by that?

[willow sail]

like in that bundle, what orders it includes?

[autumn tangle]

Well, you could track that in your system with transfer_group as a representative label, or you might use metadata on Stripe objects, etc

So it depends on what you're capturing and where you wanted to be recorded/accessed

[willow sail]

well the issue is that...when charges occur we cant assign a transfer_group because thats determined after we confirm the goods have been shipped. Therefore would have to request another call for each charge to assign the transfer_group. I understand that there's a rate limit for calls which is what we are afraid of. Thereofre thought maybe we would just not use transfer_group and do the calculation in our backend then once the amount is finalized due to the shipment confirmation we can request 1 transfer

if the sole purpose of transfer_group is to give visible link between the charges and transfers but not to track what orders are in that bundle then i think we dont really need it.

do you agree?

[autumn tangle]

I agree you might not need it

You could instead track the related payments & transfers by ID in your own system against your orders etc

ok thanks
