You're trying to get a Payment Intent out of a Transfer object?

#

So I have a webhook that once the transaction is completed it starts transferring the amounts to the sellers. I was told to use source_transaction so I wouldn't get insufficient funds available error. Im in test mode

Are you using Destination Charges or are you using Separate Charges and Transfers?

#

stripe.Transfer.create(
destination=stripe_id,
amount=int(Decimal(amount) * 100),
currency='usd',
source_transaction=session.payment_intent,

        )   this is what i have right now

#

I'm in a webhook so not sure how I would get the payment_intent from there

No, I mean, which payment flow are you using?

oh sorry im using Separate charges and transfers

weak bobcat May 2, 2023, 5:53 PM

#

Ah, okay. I don't think source_transaction gets populated in that case, since you could be transferring some amount from multiple different charges

#

got it. how could I avoid insufficient funds errors when transferring?

weak bobcat May 2, 2023, 5:55 PM

You check the Balance on the account immediately before transferring: https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance/balance_retrieve?lang=python
