hello! how can I help?
hi i just wanna know can what we need to call transfer api for sending payment to our clients
?
when i tried to use account id its show no such destination exits
do you have an example request id for your attempt?
https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_get03YY8QoTGFX - the error code is balance_insufficient which means you have insufficient funds in your balance
But I've enough balance in my stripe account
Can I do this same thing on test account ?
Can you please check this request ID "req_N9vG92Dj1r536e"
there ?
req_N9vG92Dj1r536e - this is a request to create a payout (not a transfer). For this request, it looks like you're trying to create a payout on the connected account. You should pass in the connected account id in the StripeAccount header instead when creating the request : https://stripe.com/docs/connect/authentication
Actually I want to send payment from my strip balance to pay the user. how can I do that ?\
My target audience is in UK
What is a 'user' in this context? Are they represented as a Stripe account connected to your platform?
yes our client have stripe account that is connected to our stripe account
Ok, and what do you mean by 'pay'? Transfer to their Stripe balance, or to an external (bank) acocunt?
You'd use the Transfers API to move funds between Stripe account balances.
You'd use the Payouts API to transfer funds from a Stripe account balance to an external bank account.
So depending what exactly it is you're building, you may end up using both
In most cases, the Payout schedule on your connected accounts is set automatically: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/manage-payout-schedule
but i want to do this with api
If you want to create those ad-hoc manually, then you'll need to switch to manual payouts: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/manual-payouts
stripe_account what i've to put here?
The acct_xxx ID of the account you want to create Payouts for
let me check
Error creating transfer: You have insufficient funds in your Stripe account for this transfer. Your ACH balance is too low. You can use the /v1/balance endpoint to view your Stripe balance (for more details, see stripe.com/docs/api#balance).
This is error I'm getting while payout
using above provided api
Can you share the ID (req_xxx) of the failing API request? https://support.stripe.com/questions/finding-the-id-for-an-api-request

Seems expected given that acct_1MuCWXIS6iWNskW2 has a live mode balance of 0
i want to transfer payment from main account to this account
so why we are getting this error?
this is receiver account
You're using the wrong API, you need to use the Transfers API. https://dashboard.stripe.com/logs/req_qkvaVmoOGyRk7r is a Payout request

As I stated here ☝️
so for transfer how can i add funds from main account to connected account using api for UK accounts
?
You'd create a Transfer using your platform account keys, passing the acct_xxx of the connected account as the destination: https://stripe.com/docs/api/transfers/create
Complete reference documentation for the Stripe API. Includes code snippets and examples for our Python, Java, PHP, Node.js, Go, Ruby, and .NET libraries.
how to add funds please provide me api for this first, without adding funds i am not able to create a transfer. am i correct?
Correct yes. Your accounts needs a balance before it can transfer to another account. Easiest way when testing is to accumulate a balance via test mode payments, using this test card: https://stripe.com/docs/testing#available-balance
i want to add funds into uk based client using api is it possible?
If you're in test mode, yep
what about live?
Why are you testing in live mode?
i am not testing on live. i am using live
i have to do this using live only its a requirement
How do you expect to be able to transfer from a live balance with 0 funds then?
i need api cannot do this manually all the time
is it possible to do top-ups using api for uk?
There's no API for that, no. Normally your platform accumulates a balance via payments/transactions that are occuring in your application
i've a question, if i've balance in my main account, still i've to top-up into connected account for a transfer?
Hi! I'm taking over this thread.
Hello
I'm not sure I understand your question. Can you try to rephrase with a concrete example?
For example i've balance in my main account, is there any need to do a top-up before transfer in a connected account?
If you have enough available balance in your platform for the transfer to work, then no need to do a topup.
how much balance i required to do a transfer in connected account?
my connected account have 0 funds, is it possible to do a transfer?
If you do a transfer of $100, then you need at least $100 in your platform available balance.
i've $9 in my main account now i want to transfer $4 in my connected account without doing topup should it work?
If it's in the available balance, yes.
req_get03YY8QoTGFX
Please Check this transfer ID
I've $9 in my platform/main account when i try to transfer in connected account it show insufficent balance why is that?
There are two issues:
- First it's not 4 USD, but 0.04 USD you are trying to transfer
- Second, you have an available balance but in GBP. So you can only transfer GBP and not USD.
thanks for this information
i've another query
which api i can use to connect external accounts with my business stripe account?
You want to create Connected accounts? Then I recommend reading this: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/accounts
yes but i want to do this with stripe api, is there any way to create link for connect account using stripe api?
Which type of account do you want to create (Standard, Express, Custom)?
express
