Hi there! Just to be clear, are you referring to Transfers (transferring funds between a platform and a connected account) or Payouts (moving funds from a Stripe account to an external bank account)?

[paper swan]

Yes, transfer from stripe account to account. I have set it to automatic payout, so all I have to do is initiate the transfer (stripe to stripe, using destination account).

if this doesn't throw an exception, i can safely assume that stripe will handle the actual payout to external account is what im asking i think

  var options = new TransferCreateOptions
        {
            Amount = (long)amount,
            Currency = currency.ToString(), // Listing currency
            Destination = destinationAcct,
            TransferGroup = reservationId.ToString() // For grouping it with a paymentIntent 
        };

        var service = new TransferService();

        var retryPolicy = StripePolicies.TransientAndStripeExceptionRetryPolicy();

        try
        {
            var transfer = await retryPolicy.ExecuteAsync(async () => await service.CreateAsync(options));

            return transfer.Id;
        }

Got it, thanks for clarifying! That's right, Stripe will handle the automatic payout to the external account

[paper swan]

great. thanks a lot

just to clarify, there are no other statuses i need to be aware of?

[white dust]

A request to create a Transfer could fail if your platform account doesn't have enough funds to transfer that particular amount

[paper swan]

Yes, certainly, but that would generate an exception, no?

[white dust]

Exactly

[paper swan]

i mean if no exceptions are thrown from the stripe method

then i can assume that this is done on my end

[white dust]

Yes, that's correct
