Hi 👋 can you be more specific? What's the issue? Any error codes?

[boreal peak]

Yup here

"message": "Cannot create a destination charge for connected accounts in GB because funds would be settled on the platform and the connected account is outside the platform's region. You may use the on_behalf_of parameter to have the charge settle in the connected account's country. For more information on on_behalf_of, see https://stripe.com/docs/connect/charges-transfers#on-behalf-of. If using capabilities (e.g. card_payments, transfers), note that they affect settlement as well. For more information on capabilities, see https://stripe.com/docs/connect/account-capabilities. If you still need assistance, please contact us via https://support.stripe.com/contact.",

I have a few questions regarding the docs.

If we use "on_behalf_of", will the money still settle in our account and send the destination amount to the seller connect account?

yes

[boreal peak]

we have a marketplace and we use payment intents

buyers are using customer payment methods, sellers are using connected accounts with payout methods

[jolly shuttle]

Though that happens instantaneously. Does that answer your question?

[boreal peak]

ah ok, will we only need to use on_behalf_of when the seller has a business account in a different country?

will it hurt if we apply it to all of the payment_intents even for US based sellers?

[jolly shuttle]

Correct

[jolly shuttle]

Nope!

[boreal peak]

ok awesome!

well, just to verify, is there any reason why we would not do on_behalf_of?

[jolly shuttle]

Not that I'm aware of no
